I think the statement on this pola contradicts the theme. this is the only pola that shows weakness in this woman.
I love the concept of this series though

^ oh, finally! i expected to see a comment like this a lot of time ago. i think that showing without shame our "weakness", our sensitive sides, is a great sign of strenght. those (usually men) who hide their feelings behind a fake strenght are the real weak ones. "men don't cry, women do" and all that men-centerd stuff, you know:). the strong ones don't need to hide what they think if they feel lonely or if they need love, because they know that being sincere and self-conscious cannot mean being "less", it means being able to handle their lives. then, this series is about women who are ignored by the ones that should be close to them, not a feminist study on society and, by the way, i don't believe in what feminists call "independence", at all:). i think that we all should depend on each other and that using loneliness as an independence and freedom statement would be hypocrite. i made this series after a year of complete (and when i say it, i mean it... complete!) loneliness, left all alone in an unknown big town, with no friends, no family, nobody to talk to. i had to do all myself, from the things that are traditionally women friendly to the ones that in a family usually men care about like hard houseworks or security and so on. i have been able to do them all, with no support whatsoever, but i can't state that it was an happy situation because, even though i could handle it, saying that i was happy of my independence would be a lie and lying to myself would really be weak. i felt bad, and not because i needed a man that could care about the "male gender roles", but because i was lonely and i needed love. admitting it was very hard and required a lot of strenght. there's a lot more to say, but the comment would be too long, then:) this series was very "therapeutic", it made me understand some mistakes of my past and accept their consequences, but it is even leading me to a series of thoughts that are turning into a very large art project, so it's my favourite series so far.
