In Bow Girl, a figure moves across the bleached limestone of Sicily's Scala dei Turchi, her body swathed in pink tulle, obscuring her face as a trail of fabric catches the wind behind her. The pale rock and the deep Sicilian sky form a stark, almost lunar backdrop against the soft yet defiant figure. Sutera Sardo renders the landscape as witness, the body as event, a solitary presence navigating ancient terrain in full bloom.

Carla Sutera Sardo (b. Agrigento, 1983) is a Sicilian photographer whose practice explores the female figure and the dialogue between body and landscape, often through dreamlike, suspended imagery. Her work has been published in L'Oeil de la Photographie and Vogue Italia, recognized by the Sony World Photography Awards and Siena Photography Awards, and exhibited internationally in cities including London, Paris, and Florence.
