One of Violeta Sofia's most personal and significant projects is the 'Hand Masters' series. Initially conceived as a way to document the changes in her skin due to vitiligo, the series has evolved into a profound exploration of self-identity and transformation. Influenced deeply by the old masters, Violeta's hands, intricately depicted in these images, have become a powerful symbol and a canvas for her storytelling. The series delves into themes of heritage, resilience, and the passage of time, linking Violeta's personal journey with broader narratives of the human experience.
