The title takes up the etymological meaning of the word Shroud, a feminine noun [from Latin
sindon -ŏnis, Greek σινδών -όνος] translatable as: linen cloth.

Although the conceptual reference to the Holy Shroud is almost automatic, the title of the work is not to be understood in provocative terms: the reference is exclusively to the meaning of the word in its etymological meaning (as reported above); the portrayed image is clearly the body of a woman.
"Shroud" wants to represent the passage to another dimension; the ancient custom of wrapping the bodies of the deceased in linen cloths to accompany them in this transit, however, takes on a further significance if one thinks that with the same cloths it was customary to cover the bodies of those who died from violent death, with bloodshed .
And it is here then that my work - Shroud - becomes homage to all the women who have been victims of femicide, the number of which has been growing in recent years, especially during the lockdown caused by the pandemic. A tribute to them: not to forget.

The work, which is a photograph taken with the ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) technique, was subsequently digitally processed.
