Homerta series is created for showing that the domestic violence and violence against women are crucial
problems in our society especially during the pandemic.The name,Homerta,is made by Home and
Omerta(the code of silence in the mob world).
During the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic, an alarming increase of domestic violence incidents
came to surface. HOMERTA series aspires to shed light to the victims of domestic abuse, expanding the
conversation on how patriarchical behaviours contribute to this issue.This series of artworks focuses,
among others, on the reflection of social stereotypes through the perspective of the family and especially
the relationship between a couple. Depictions of a disappointed and violent spouse who lashes out despite
getting the attention and affections he needs, showcase that abuse is well established within the context of
patriarchy.
