Your head in my hand, boy is part of a research on the representation in art history (specifically in the 16th and 17th centuries) of victorious women in the face of violence inflicted by men.

In a biblical episode, Judith beheads Holofernes, an Assyrian general, with the help of her maid and this scene is immortalized in several paintings throughout history. Based on this theme, I present a reworking of the formats traditionally used for the construction of structures that function as flags or banners handled in various popular manifestations. Having Holofernes’s head in his hands proposes a reflection beyond the head of that individual itself, but what the head of a man cut off by a woman, who did this and saved an entire people, represents in a society in which every two hours a woman is murdered in hate crimes motivated by gender.
