"When we plant a rose, we just leave it and wait; there is little we can do to make it bloom faster. It needs time, and you need time. What I am trying to capture in this work is the action of time on individuals and the space around us, but also the human ability to accept that time cannot be forced." - Alessandra Dragoni
