LOOPE

Talking about identity, stereotypes, and roles, Cindy Sherman is the master. In a world where life expectancy grown from 30 to 50 years in the last century, the acceptance of changes in our life - profession, love, house - seems to be the norm.

The second project I want to share was made by Giulia Flavia Baczynski during her confinement in Mantua, Italy. Talking about her experiments with cardboard, strip, pencil, cutter, and space, she wrote: "The fold contracts space while a cut expands it. Two extremes that coexist peacefully in a few square centimeters generate infinite things. For this reason, a sheet of paper is never just a sheet of paper but a potential space. Can a book be viewed in four different ways and still remain straight? Can such an object be called a book? And if it is not a book, what word do you have to look for to define it? (this is not just a popup)." To which one of her followers on Instagram replied: "Mexican urban landscape".

These days when the reality is being especially hard with all of us, but above all confused, I tried to find some relief in observing how other women, some of them with an architecture background, passed the lockdown. With them, I found that paper, flowers, images, and music, sometimes talk better about our feelings than words. With their permission, I'll be sharing their projects with you in the next days. I hope that the beauty and delicacy of their work help you as much as they do with me to make a catharsis of this collective experience.
