Schiudersi…

Close (yourself) to open, and maybe close again. Show yourself fragile. Having a hard time being flexible, adapting to change, being afraid of not being able to evolve.
⠀
Few admit it in these times when the hymn to resilience is being made.
⠀
Strange times. We have been in seclusion and many have suffered from it. They broke … inside
⠀
There has been such an effort to adapt to that situation that today returning ‘to life as before’ can be just as difficult.
⠀
This painting wants to tell you: “you are not alone”.
⠀
You too are like this dancer who closes in on herself and needs time, concentration to “recover” and then flourish again.
⠀
To paint the dress I was inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s painting, White Flower No.1
⠀
Because after a long period of waiting, of “I’ll think about it tomorrow”, I too want to flourish again, as a woman, painter, mother, wife.
