Description from BAMS Student Medal Project XXXI 2024:
'This piece takes its meaning from ancient Roman theatre masks. With the election of Georgia Meloni as president within Italy, there have been many questions about her previously strong right wing views, including admiration of Mussolini.
My medal aims to take the viewer back to the history of Italy, prior to the fears of fascism. The front is of a mask, and on the reverse the quotation: I have never been so attached to life.'
