In “Melted”, I depict and give voice to a new generation of girls who, strengthened by their uniqueness, have revolutionized the concept of beauty. By creating portraits where faces are completely covered by a molten flow of colors, I emphasize the complexity of the female identity. The colors represent the essence of a woman, an essence which flows outwards, reflecting an inner life with all of its many vibrant tones.

It is in such a way that I imagine a new place, depicted by inclusive colors, in which to find refuge, where even the aliens that occupy our minds are at last free from the prejudices that hold them captive, so that they can finally manifest their full beauty.
