A heart clasped tightly between the fingers, held as if in a prison: this is the powerful image that shapes “Prettyrosso”, a work that speaks of the suffering of denied, distorted, and censored emotions. When one is annulled for the sake of the other, sacrificing oneself, love ceases to be an encounter and becomes renunciation. That restrained heart thus represents the degeneration of a bond that does not nourish, but imprisons.

Perched on the figure’s right shoulder is a robin: small, resilient, a survivor of winter. A symbol of rebirth, it embodies the strength of those who choose to protect their own worth, even through the harshest seasons. The robin endures because it chooses life. Because it chooses itself.

A message both delicate and resolute: to love is not to sacrifice, but to recognise and to choose one another, every day, in a reciprocal and vital exchange.
