Artist Statement

A photographic image titled Trois Serveuses by French photographer Giles Lange. Behind charming smiles alongside confident glances of three Bulgarian waitresses which are the blended expressions of womanhood and assertiveness, there is something more profound, more enlightening: the dignified autonomy of those cheerful women through fruitful work and freedom.

Above all, the pure realism of this sober and spontaneous photography reveals the deep links of feminine friendship and solidarity. How far away is the awful time of feminine submission and isolation!

Let resonate in our hearts and minds the magnificent words of Simon de Beauvoir: ‘We are not born as women, we become women’. The invention of oneself without a pre-established destiny.
