Lady Princess
Concept of the Work
When I began shaping “Lady Princess,” I did so with a question in mind: what does it really mean to be a princess? Throughout my life, I’ve seen how softness, delicacy, and vulnerability have been interpreted as synonyms for weakness, as if being gentle means being fragile, as if being discreet implies a lack of voice.
But the echo in my mind constantly repeats that within me, as within every woman, there are many choices.
As I glided the first strokes, I felt the sound become a refuge, where my voice would be the instrument that exposed another version of myself with which to face the outside world that often painted my being as a broken rose.
Because there are no rules if there is no disorder, that disorder that offers more possibilities to show truths that build my inner self, even if the world doesn’t like it.
I outlined in shadows the keys of a piano floating in the air behind me, like thoughts sliding across my skin, not following an order of octaves and without a foundation because they don’t need one. They are like a mental touch, an ethereal caress that awakens free, disordered ideas full of potential.
I drew a microphone, not just as an object, but as a symbol of a voice that has found its way to transform the whispers of insecurity and the shouts of conformity into pure power and the emotion of living.
Living with the firmness of someone who knows that her fragility is not a weakness, but the seed of a strength cultivated in silence.
I traced a rose with the idea of representing the struggle between being seen as delicate beauty or as an imposing being, capable of withstanding the most brutal storms. Its broken stem is witness to past wounds, encounters with the cruelty of a world that sometimes feels too hostile. But attention must not be lost to the thorns, for this rebellious princess has understood the game of life. The frequency lines that cross the rose are the visual manifestation of her connection with the world’s rhythm, of how each blow, each impact, has resonated within her, shaping her being.
Harmony that defies the notes of life…
The young woman I chose for this sketch of light and shadow not only looks straight ahead, but seeks to meet your gaze with determination, as if in that visual encounter she finds the strength to challenge what life has placed in her path.
She is someone who has been shaped by both the visible and the invisible, by what life has given her and by what she has taken with her own hands. In every look, you can perceive the imprint of a journey that has taken her through both internal and external landscapes, where the delicate and the fierce intertwine in a constant dance.
At the intersection of what was and what is, in the blend of the gentleness with which she caresses life and the intensity with which she faces her challenges, in the conjunction of the floating piano notes and the forceful beats of the drums that mark her steps, lies her essence. An essence that does not need to choose between being soft or being tough, because in her being, both extremes coexist in a harmony that defies any attempt at simplification.
