"Cage" by Romina Bassu is a gripping examination of the feminine experience and the limitations placed on it by social norms. The figure conveys a sensation of imprisonment and captivity as it is weighed down by a cage, both literal and symbolic, symbolized by the chair. The stark, austere background highlights the subject's solitude, while Bassu's trademark subdued palette and deft brushwork heighten the solemn atmosphere. One interpretation of the piece is a critique of the objectification of women and the restrictions imposed on their autonomy. Bassu asks viewers to consider the intricate relationship between individualism and social conventions through this eerie image.
