This girl can fly

With this work, I wanted to reflect a little on the freedoms that women, in particular, gained with the April 25th Revolution. I intended to explore the verb "to fly" in its literal form – referring to the freedom of women to travel without third-party authorization – and metaphorically – referring to the opening up to the infinite possibilities of goals that a woman can achieve today in her personal, professional, and social life. Even though the struggle continues and is still necessary in the face of contemporary challenges, we already have great reasons to celebrate.
