In my collage Dimmi di Piu , I layer painted vellum with sun-kissed Caribbean beach colors to capture three lifelong friends reuniting on a relaxed shore the day before a close friend's wedding. Inspired by Botticelli's Three Graces, they dance and whisper secrets, eagerly sharing every detail of their lives after years apart. The rhythmic, joyful movement celebrates deep female bonds and the pure joy of reconnection.
