TRAPPeD

Inspired by the tale of the genie of the wonderful lamp, a genie with many powers but always serving and trapped in a lamp, it seemed to me an excellent metaphor to talk about the relationship of women with the home and family care. A relationship where women are often trapped by family responsibilities, by not finding a place in a society that is still very masculinized, or by deep-rooted patriarchal traditions. Women with superpowers, like geniuses, who are in charge of the home, the family care and also have an outside job, in a working world built by and for men. At the end of the story, our heroine is freed by a male hand but, like in the tale, she is still trapped, not by magic, but by bracelets: bracelets of love.
