samora
Samora, the central figure, is a girl, a woman, and a mother, imbued with divine powers from start to finish. She is akin to Eve or Saint Mary, a figure from ancient times transplanted into our modern world, much like a masterpiece by Michelangelo. She embodies absolute perfection.
Comparative art is a valid approach. In this context, ‘SaMoRa’ evokes a character of great distinction: Prince Mishkin from Dostoyevsky’s ‘The Idiot ‘.
‘SaMoRa’ presents a unique existential space where religions coalesce and coexist harmoniously. Muslims, Christians, Jews, and other communities in the mountainous setting are intricately connected, fostering a sense of unity in diversity.
