Una silhouette organica riduce al minino quel che resta dei corpi. Il principio maschile e femminile è qui riunito in una sola immagine trasfigurata, simbolo di due unità addensate, filamentose. Non rimane che toccare con lo sguardo questo inestricabile rapporto duale.

A harmonious silhouette minimizes what remains of the bodies. The masculine and feminine essence becomes a single transfigured image, symbol of two thickened, filamentous units. This inextricable dual relationship can be touched with your eyes.

Rita Casdia was born in Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, in the province of Messina in 1977. She graduated in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo and then moved to Milan, where she obtained a specialist degree in New technologies for art at the Fine Arts Academy of Brera. She currently lives and works in Milan.

The Cause

LaSpes Onlus is a non-profit association that finances scholarships for young researchers. 100% of the money raised is devolved to the cause. The association was set up in memory of Francesco, a young man suffering from WAS, one of many rare genetic diseases.

WAS (Wiskott Aldrich Syndrom) is characterized by an immune deficiency belonging to the large category of primitive immunodeficiencies. It begins in childhood with eczema and recurrent infections, coagulation disorders and abnormalities in the number and function of platelets.

Understanding whether a child is affected by WAS means being able to intervene immediately: this is why early diagnosis is essential.

LaSpes Onlus therefore supports research that is not carried out by pharmaceutical companies. It focuses on young people and the future of science in the hope of give those affected by WAS and other rare diseases the longest possible future.

Italian actor and director Alessandro Preziosi is ambassador for the association.
