The defiant expression of the face and the questioning hand perfectly match the title.


Here the poetics of Paola Grizi reaches its extreme synthesis:

is it the reader reading or vice versa?


The question then arises as to whether the pages that make up this book are truly the tangible and poetic image of aspects and phases of the life of woman in this world of ours. In the entirety of the book of life that includes them it is strongly unitary.


The iconographic response seems to confirm an action of reading,

which sometimes generates radical changes in the individual.

It opens up new perspectives in worlds far from everyday life.

It constitutes a push towards a richer coscience by developing the cognitive and spiritual potentialities present in each one.


Many pages, but a single book, many profiles but a single face (Stefano Colonna)

Literature

Yet the words do not clarify the concepts in the book but, on the contrary, if investigated in a strictly literal sense, they insinuate doubts. The support thus becomes an integral part of the work, bringing with it further meanings. The words makes us imagine new scenarios, in a story to be discovered.
