This photograph is a self-portrait inspired by the famous character from William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet tragedy but specially developed aesthetically in the actress who played the character in the 1968 film Olivia Hussey. The red color of her clothes symbolizes love and the rose withers her dead love, trying to create an atmosphere of nostalgia and suffering.
