The work captures a young girl with braids, her penetrating and innocent gaze directed at the viewer, as she tenderly holds a small duckling close. The black and white photograph, with its authentic grain, envelops the scene in an atmosphere of quiet intimacy and timelessness, evoking a profound sense of protection and a primal connection with nature. It is an image that moves with its simplicity and the purity of the emotions it manages to express.
Reading the Work
This work distinguishes itself in Benedetto Riba's oeuvre for its ability to transcend the simple portrait, rising to a powerful symbol of innocence and the responsibility of care. The artist, through the masterful use of black and white and an essential composition, investigates the purity of childhood and the empathic bond with the animal world, recurring themes in his poetics. “Innocence Preserved” is not just a photograph, but a meditation on the vulnerability and the intrinsic strength that resides in the act of protecting.
