Resistenza (Copy)

Every day gives us the chance to choose our words with care, but today some deserve to echo louder than others. Resistance is one of them: a cornerstone of our history, a tribute to those who refused to surrender, an embrace of memory, a vision of freedom.

A contemporary approach to a universal message. This year, I chose to accompany it with an illustration. I couldn’t find a typeface that conveyed the feeling I was after, so I carved the entire design into linoleum and returned to printing on my giant Saroglia press, producing a 40 × 50 cm edition.

And I still can’t do without my flowers. They leave a different trace on every sheet of paper, making each print its own small, unique encounter.
