Unbearably Pressure

References and inspiration

This painting is part of my series “Still Sands” that represent those sensations of immobility in difficult situations, when for choice or for necessity one cannot change the current state.

Description

Deeply linked to the theme of femicides and gender-based violence, in Unbearably Pressure the female figure is crouching, in a protective position and protects her head with her right hand.

Succeeding to oppose the condition of Still Sands means being able to succeed, most of the time, to save one’s own safety or even one’s own life
