AMORE DI PIETRA

This Work reflects how painful events can profoundly transform people and theirs 

feelings as in the case of Medusa violated by Poseidon.

Violence and Victimization: Just as Medusa was punished for a crime she suffered, today many victims of sexual violence face blame and stigmatization.

Transformation and Resilience: Medusa's transformation into a monster can symbolize how traumatic experiences change people. Today, resilience is essential to overcome traumas and difficulties.

Power and Justice: Medusa's story reflects dynamics of power and injustice. Today, movements like #MeToo seek to address and correct these injustices.

Symbolism and Interpretation: Medusa has become a symbol of strength and endurance. In our era, many historical and mythological figures are reinterpreted to reflect contemporary values.
