This work reinterprets the figure of Saint Sebastian as both cultural icon and contemporary metaphor, moving between hagiography and personal revelation. Structured as a station drama, it unfolds through a sequence of scenes that trace a process of self-affirmation shaped by the gaze of others, the vulnerability of the body and the tension between suffering and transformation. Blending sacred imagery with present-day sensibilities, the piece reflects on identity as an ongoing passage between exposure, recognition and becoming.
