When I see Sara's work, I am amazed at the energy in the pictures: rebellion, but with a firm pride behind every move. I think Sara uses pride and strength as jewelry.
She probably does fine art punk. It's CBGB but with an Italian clean modus operandi. Maybe the word is sprezzatura. I am sure that The Clash would use her services for an album cover.
Her sitters could be covered in tattoos and wear ripped jeans, but still, it feels like high society, rich. I think she captures the soul and drapes it above the clothes.
And even when the only clothes the sitter is wearing are the mask, one only sees strength.
Please do yourself a favour and get to her self-portraits; she is what she shoots!
