work to denounce the living conditions of enslaved migrants in the tomato harvest, aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic. This work is part of the installation "Visit to the Sacred Tomato". - soft pastels on corrugated packaging cardboard with removal of the unpainted cardboard surface. The installation, made up of 7 works that make up a sort of small temple where you can enter invited by a seductive advertising lure, was created for participation in the Lucca Biennale-Cartasia 2020, but due to the pandemic published in the same event in 2021. Subsequently selected and published for Human-Rights #No-Gap at the Campana dei Caduti Foundation in Rovereto in 2022.
