On November 25, International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, my creation, the #RedChair, became the centerpiece of an installation by Mondadori at the red-lit Palazzo Niemeyer. One upright chair stood against 99 fallen ones, symbolizing women lost to violence, inspiring the hashtag #StandAgainstViolence. The iconic shot was followed by a powerful short film by director Tommaso Casigliani.
