Description

The Fasting Women employs a focused photographic strategy to explore the phenomenon of women who fast under religious or cultural motivations. Through intimate, carefully composed images, Francesco Francaviglia presents a contemplative visual study that touches on themes of spirituality, discipline, and resilience.

The photographs in this 112-page volume, published by Postcart in 2014, reveal a quiet, often austere mood, encouraging reflection on the physical and emotional dimensions of fasting. Francaviglia’s approach balances portraiture with observational detail, emphasizing both the individuals and their ritualistic contexts.
