Giulia Balletta／Photographer
（Italy based）

「Womanhood（女性らしさ）」
私はまず、人々が作品に没頭できるものを考えました。
それは女性の間の日常的な愛や友情といったフェミニティあふれる世界観。

実際、このプロジェクトに関わった撮影スタッフは皆女性です。
バロック様式を表現していますが、それはSofia Coppolaのスタイルでもあり、私個人が最も女性らしさを感じているものです。

The concept was thought so that people can fully immerse themselves in the photos.
It represents womanhood; the everyday love and friendship between women.

Indeed, this reflected the crew working on the project; everyone involved was a woman.
The vibe is representing a baroque but also Sofia Coppola’s style, in which I feel most represented.
