L’appartamento (The apartment) depicts the condominium where I grew up, reflected in my mother’s eye. The work investigates the fragility of a family trying to remain united more by social inertia than by genuine will. The house, now sold, survives as a mental space: a symbol of what was retained beyond necessity and of the suffering generated by forced bonds. It is a portrait of the dissolution of expectations, the erosion of affections, the despair of what one stubbornly attempts to preserve, and the weight of family narratives that shape us.
