Ada observes the world with a deeply critical eye and attempts to express her vision through the reworking of the so-called "objet trouvé," whether it is a poster, a fine, or the packaging of some food. This exhibition emphasizes the textual expression elaborated on the "torn posters," taken from their original context to be displayed with blunt and raw phrases printed on reworked, defaced, distorted images. The artist adopts a conceptual approach with an expressive poetics, blending conceptual and visual elements to emphasize, contest, and sometimes mock the clichés of contemporary society with a provocative and irreverent style. Her nonconformist spirit, combined with an underground style, is effectively expressed and summarized by the acronym of her artistic name: Sometimes You Must Let Yourself Go. A philosophically tinged admonition that recalls the famous Heraclitean doctrine of “πάντα ῥεῖ”: everything flows, everything changes form, and it is therefore necessary to surrender to the ever-changing reality in order to grasp, observe, and eventually critique it.
