Transformations
In the new series "Transformations", Alessandra draws a parallel between the processes of wilting of fruits and vegetables and the human body. Observing the complete life cycle and transformations of a fruit or vegetable from the moment it was picked to the moment when it disappears forever, the artist compares this to the processes taking place in her own body. She mentions that her body is not going to be young and vital forever, it's mortal and, as a fruit or a vegetable, it goes through a transformation and will decay.
Being obsessed with shapes and colors, Alessandra aims to show others that the process of aging and decay can be different from the picture that our society conditioned us to perceive. As the artist says: "Every change signals our inner growth and progress. We become older, wiser, and more experienced." Through this series, Alessandra wants to show every person in the world, especially women, that everyone should love her(is) body in any stage of life as the changes are natural. She calls for seeing beauty in aging because there is much more behind it. There is a story of a life that you can see in wrinkles, a breast which fed a baby, in aged hands of a person who was manually working for ages. We are a process but not frozen, still, and pretty pictures.
