“FOBIA”
In a windowless room, immersed in an oppressive dimness, two girls lived a parallel solitude, unaware of each other.
Their fear was the control that was slipping away from them, the constant thought of being prisoners in a space that was shrinking around them.
Dressed as if they wanted to merge with the darkness, they were trapped in a silent phobia: the fear of losing themselves in an indifferent society.
Their light clothes seemed like a cry for freedom, a stark contrast to the closed and suffocating environment. Every colour they wore was a way to escape the monotony of the darkness, but the silence overwhelmed them, making any escape useless.
The two girls would never meet, even if they breathed the same oxygen, walked the same ground, and shared the same prison.
Each was lost in her phobia.
The room, indifferent, continued to tighten around them, without any possibility of contact.
