Francesca Albarosa's project transforms from a tribute to her grandmother into a personal journey of identity and legacy. As a remarkable woman in Sicily, her grandmother's accomplishments and adventurous spirit serve as an inspiration. Francesca grew up admiring her grandmother's resilience, courage, and positivity, cherishing the comparisons made between them. By dressing her grandmother in her clothes for a portrait series, Francesca emphasizes continuity and inheritance. This creative endeavor holds her grandmother in the present while honoring the past and shaping the future that draws from her grandmother’s remarkable life.
Live fully without any fear and love as much as you can... possibly more than you can. La vita e bella.
Growing up, people constantly compared me to her, and there's never been anyone I'd rather be compared to.
For this series, I dressed her in my clothes. Not as a novelty, but as a symbol. Of continuity. Of inheritance.
Through these images, I wanted to hold her in the present, honour her past, and reflect the future I'm trying to build on her foundation.
