Luisa was inspired by a meeting, with a woman named Luisa.
Luisa sews. She sews her red cheeks, her emotions and the words that belong to her shy, fluffy and intense eyes. She sews so she does not lose the thread of her life. Just as Delacroix had brought together people of all ages and social classes in his painting Liberty Leading the People, so Luisa created around her a gathering of changing and dissonant human nuances in their becoming. But Luisa does not draw the flag of a nation to the sky: she holds a rose.
