Siamo così: Women Illustration Series
This illustration series is based on the Italian song "Quello che le donne non dicono"
sang by Fiorella Mannoia and written by Enrico Ruggeri in 1987.
The song talks about women, their instincts, their ability to adapt, their ability to always be there and their coherence (open to interpretation):

In the photos/social media, they might appear in a way that might portray them as relaxed, tired or posing for a photo,
but what is seen in a photo is different from reality and there is a lot that a photo does not say/show...
there is a lot that 'women do not say' - they might be suffering, making sacrifices, putting others before themselves,
but 'that's how we are'. Inspired by this Italian song and also inspired by my Mum's sacrifices and love ❤️
Siamo così = That's how we are
Quello che le donne non dicono = What women do not say
The illustrations are based on photos by female bloggers/content creators - tagged on Instagram.
