Rosso

DANILO SMEDILE

Emerging from the crowd is a distinctive trait—a sign of value and the need to outline one’s uniqueness. To emerge is to survive: a flight from feelings of inadequacy and the risk of marginalisation.

Rosso (Red) embodies the colours of discrimination and the desire to feel included.

The colour serves as a metaphor for the conflict between the fear of being judged and the desire to express oneself without hesitation.

Rosso is an internal struggle, strong and unwavering.
