What am I?  -  21/02/24                                Im a riddle. I can simply be a riddle inside a riddlers mind. I’m a secret, a puzzle who doesn’t necessarily needs to be solved or understood.An expressionist running from its own mystery and agony. I’m easy to throw, but heavy to lift .An undecipherable enigmatic hopeless lover,  or Thanatos, the name for death. Or even both at the same time. I have special powers.I’m an introverted war. I want to be alone but i want to be touched.People always ask me: “Are you drunk?”And so I answer, “No, I’m not. “Don’t get so close to me, or I’ll tell the stars about you. I’m a manuscript, my love, I don’t cry, I bleed on paper.

Societal perversion         By: Luiza Tormena                   The social inequality of different genders is present in all aspects of our daily lives, from political and social injustices to the day-to-day pre-set ideologies burnt into the system we were born into. Everything around us is sexist, thus everything that makes up our minds is misogynistic. Leading us to act in unjust and sometimes disgusting and repugnant ways, at times, without even knowing so.   When analyzing the art piece “Aphrodite of Knidos”, the message I felt the statue was made to convey was many, bravery, elegance, and daring effrontery. The feeling conveyed to me, however, was one of angst and disquietude, because upon seeing the naked Greek woman I was reminded of another statue I had previously seen of Shakespeare's renowned Juliet, where the bronze of the piece was corroded in all but one place: her breasts. Amidst discovering this, I was almost left in a paroxysm of outrage because it simply proves how women's and women's bodies are so easily materialized and devalorized in the society we live in. By both genders, at times without even bothering to make the effort to reflect on the impact seemingly simple actions have. How could you not do those things when the system you live in and were born in simply deems it as "normal"?      The acknowledgment and forced acceptance of this reality have forever tainted the way I see and interpret female nude statues. Knowing the perversion and voracious lust behind societal eyes has dirtied and polluted what was once enjoyable piece of innocent and unblemished art. Juliet was thirteen.
