With a bold hand and a gaze that reaches into the core of the human scene, Italian cartoonist Marilena Nardi exposes one of the most painful contradictions in contemporary society through a striking visual: three men in formal suits standing confidently on the shoulders of women who silently endure.
The artwork needs no explanation, it powerfully illustrates the long and often invisible story of the burdens women carry in their daily lives: at home, at work, at the heart of society .. and in all the overlooked corners where no spotlight ever shines.
Through this work, Marilena Nardi continues her artistic journey in defense of justice and human awareness, offering a sharp visual critique of cultures that still perceive women as bodies without minds, and as support structures rather than independent beings.
