Forty Plus

Forty Plus documents and conceptualises feminine sensuality above forty years old. Paradoxically, in the western society, the more a woman grows old and confident, the more she disappears in any kind of representation. While being in full possession of their body and its capacities, liberated from their upbringing and from the expectations of a patriarchal society, forty plus women remain too often hidden, forgotten as if they become transparent, invisible while they are on of the pillars of society.

Forty Plus is a delicate visual journey through the author's intime wardrobe mixed with botanical elements as a metaphoric representation of the feminine gaze.

This series is an ode to feminity and sensuality, an invitation to see and embrace beauty in all its manifestation and imperfection, a lullaby to sing the incredible feeling of freedom and inner power that we reach in what can be considered the middle life.

Images from the series were selected to be part of the Official Selection at the Tokyo International Foto Awards 2022
