Description
Till Death Do Us Part is a sculpture and installation by Federica Sutti, aka Fè, that addresses the theme of gender violence and betrayed intimacy with poetic and symbolic force. On cold marble slabs—relics of a silent sacrifice—lie broken lipsticks, no longer red with desire, but with wounds. Beside them, a blade: not a simple object, but a seal of the passage between care and destruction, love and annihilation.
The work reflects on the grammar of everyday violence, where gesture, the body, and domestic ritual are distorted to become instruments of domination. The marble, in its glacial solemnity, preserves the irreversibility of pain and the memory of what cannot be forgotten.
The lipsticks, varying in color and shape, become a tragic catalogue of transversal violence —one that cuts across ages, identities, and geographies—transforming into a universal metaphor for the female condition and the fragility of love.
Till Death Do Us Part exposes the cruelest paradox: when love, instead of welcoming, possesses to the point of erasing.
