Returning to Rome, I carried with me the reflections and insights gathered in Dakar and Barcelona. This phase marked a shift in my approach—from observer to participant, from researcher to artist. I conceptualized the idea of creating a textile piece embodying the intertwined narratives I had encountered. The process became one of weaving histories, conversations, and emotions into a singular artistic form. A pivotal moment came during my final presentation at the museum, where an unexpected emotional breakdown illuminated the depth of my engagement. It was a release of grief, pain, and hope, marking a personal and artistic evolution that redefined how I understood my journey and its resonances.
