A pair of yellow tights stands on a dusty Sicilian road, the rest of her is swallowed by a cluster of pastel balloons. Rocky hills and a wide cloud-filled sky stretch out behind her. The body becomes something else, rooted to the ground and weightless at once. Pure color, pure play, pure Sicilian summer.
