A Brief Rehearsal for Joy
Amid the marble and echoes of a city that has seen too much beauty to be surprised, she poses with playful grace — part performer, part passerby. The square around her hums with footsteps and camera shutters, yet she seems untouched by it all, caught between laughter and thought.
There’s something eternal in her gesture — a reminder that joy often arrives not as a performance but as a pause: the quiet second before the smile, the moment when we forget to be seen.
In her, Venice feels young again — not in age, but in spirit — the city’s weight of history momentarily lifted by a single, spontaneous breath.
