Roberta Mela: "IO mela" opens at Galleria CULT in Alghero

Roberta Mela: "IO mela" at Galleria CULT, Alghero

Galleria CULT presents the solo exhibition by Roberta Mela titled "IO mela". The show stages photographs and interventions that connect the human body with the apple as a symbol: skin, flesh and core are used to narrate personal and shared experiences.

The introductory text frames the project through a symbolic reading that balances strength and vulnerability, encouraging visitors to engage attentively with the works.
