True Care . 2022
Ronchi actually wants to highlight a state of ambiguity, in-between vulnerability and audacity. With this image in mind, the artist expresses her desire to evoke a female figure who proposes herself to the other, eager to please and to be loved; fearless yet fragile at the same time. The rose as a beautiful yet spiky, potentially dangerous object, reveals the boldness of whoever is holding it. Likewise, the rose has an inherent intimate significance for the artist as women in her family have passed on for generations the love of growing old roses.
