My work deals with situations and events that occur in our daily lives. Because violence is part of our daily lives, unfortunately, part of our culture. However, the terrible news that reaches the media is not far from each of us as much as we think.The subject of my project entitled "The abuse of women through their commercialization" directly addresses the issue of women who are projected daily as a product - as well as the position or image of women in today's patriarchal society. My goal, through my photos, is for the viewer to read the despair, the sadness, the boredom, the collapse of all our values.What excites me about photography is its ability to capture reality without it being delimited and controlled by non-existent taboos, unwritten beliefs and of course the very social mechanism of construction of reality. So I come to the conclusion that people usually prefer the elliptical conveyance of certain messages or situations to the immediate, realistic description. The intensity that is reflected in my works aims to create in the viewer corresponding intensities of thoughts and feelings that through a special process, to mobilize at the same time his physical, mental and mental sensitivity. Any tension presupposes turmoil and not calm.As a young artist I have been influenced by many artistic currents and artists. I have seen myself and the works attracted by elements that appear in the movement of Surrealism and Actionism. This series of photos is my way of expressing my opinion about the "product woman" that this society is trying to advertise to us.Various institutions and bodies of our societies try to promote the specific idea of woman as something normal, as something natural and I see that they have succeeded. But this can change, it must change. WE HAVE TO... "Do you know what the best currency is? The best coin the most valuable of all is gratitude. When you are dead you are dead but you are not so dead if you contribute something. " John Dunsworth
