The work Just a Bite reinterprets the Snow White myth from a contemporary sensitivity perspective, where the apple, symbol of poisoning, becomes the expression of the temptation to know and accept the risk of personal transformation.
The gesture suspended before biting captures the psychological moment of choice when innocence meets awareness. The white lilies evoke purity and regeneration, and the blue bird symbolizes inner freedom.
The unafraid, direct gaze transforms the heroine from a passive presence into a lucid one, who takes charge of her destiny. Thus, the bite no longer means a fall, but initiation, and the artwork becomes a reflection on maturation and the courage to embrace change.
