title.La pavida Agata, con occhi serrati guidò le sue ombre

This painting is about a woman who became blind because the world hurt her eyes. Without haste, she consciously abandoned herself to the dark. She did not consider the world a place worthy of being seen, so she used to lay in solitude. The woman became grim, misogynistic, just wanted to inflict on others the same pain that tormented her soul. She then began to tear the eyes of the women who were paying attention to her; sewing them in her dress so that it could be a warning to anyone who approached her. One day, two sisters, both blind from birth, came upon her path. The lonely, angry woman tore their eyes and added them to her collection. But the moment she did, the sisters saw the world through her. Despite the woman's reluctance, the sisters no longer wanted to part with her, worthy of having given them this precious gift. The woman felt condemned to wander around the world and show the young people and their uncorrupted and hungry eyes what they had never been able to see. Through their gaze she saw the world; through their stories she saw it for the first time. The uninhabited soul of the woman continued to sink into her blindness, and never realized the true gift that life had made to her.
