Descrizione: The work reflects a transition from being shaped by the expectations of others to consciously defining one’s own body, identity, and creative agency. The red lily shifts from a traditional symbol of purity to one of presence, strength, and self-possession, marking a movement from imposed perception toward self-definition.
A red die showing six introduces the idea of life as a conscious game — one shaped by chance, but directed through choice. It becomes a symbol of agency: the possibility of deciding how to respond, what meaning to assign, and which direction to take.
The painting becomes a statement of artistic sovereignty: a declaration of presence, agency, and the right to define one’s own relationship with beauty, identity, and power.
