About the artwork

This photograph was taken in Miami in 2014 and represents Martina, an intriguing female character whose behaviour and look emphasise a kind of vulnerability and solitude in the face of an evolving world that has become overly materialistic.

Like these artists, they deal with subjects as fundamental as religion, the passage of time, or solitude. In so doing, they traverse various periods in history as though to better return to the immediate present.
