Eight Poems by N° 01

Flower Island is the first publication by photographer Olimpia Taliani de Marchio.

The idea of vulnerability as a transformative element for women is the common thread linking the visual elements of the project: portraits, self-portraits and floral shapes coexist and come into communication in a stream of timeless images evoking the freedom to be, feel and act in the world.
