''The Goddess Has Turned Away'' - 2026

Born from a journey through Japan, shaped by silence, transformation, and the search for inner truth.

The classical figure of Diana, Goddess of the moon, the wilderness, and feminine autonomy.

Born from the encounter between Japanese Kintsugi philosophy and the enduring image of Diana, The Goddess Has Turned Away questions the ideals of perfection, beauty, and visibility that have shaped the female figure for centuries.

Rather than concealing the wound, the work allows it to become visible.

About the Artist

Giulia is an Italian multidisciplinary artist whose work unfolds at the intersection of art, symbolism, and inner transformation.
