Original artwork description:

This artwork belongs to a dyptich that evokes symbolically women and the attributes they are usually associated with, namely frailty and delicacy but also beauty, especially in ancient times.
In fact, in the Roman times, women were referred to as "levitas animi", which means the lightness of the soul", due to the absence of political or social commitments.
The use of lace and the smoothness of drapery suggest the association to the feminine world, whereas the use of the colour white highlights its purity.

Materials used:

cotton fabric, lace, plaster, resin
