Roberta Guarna wrote, “This in-depth artistic journey investigates the various faces of poverty. Is poverty only a matter of economic destitution? Poverty amidst pain, marginalization, abuse, violence, torture, imprisonment, war, deprivation of freedom and dignity, ignorance and illiteracy, health emergencies and unemployment, trafficking and slavery, exile and misery, lack of values.”
