It's been 44 years since Sofia lent her name to Sofia Feldman Hospital, an important maternity hospital in the city of Belo Horizonte - MG. Your Sofia created a project to illustrate the nine women who name the delivery rooms of this maternity hospital, which welcomes an average of 900 women every month. The idea of the project is to create an expansion of the hospital's brand through the commercialization of physical and digital products. Sofia recurrently goes through financial problems, this would be an initiative to increase fundraising for the house. The creation of Sofia Feldman's illustration was the first step to start this project. Sofia was a Palestinian woman who arrived in Brazil at the age of 13 to get married in an arranged marriage. Who was this woman who was taken from her country, with so few photographs? What colors did she have, what did she like?
From the contrast between the tones, it is possible to infer that the dress worn by Sofia in the photo is light in color. We have a stronger, shiny and sparkling color point on the bias of the collar, which is made with lace. Was it white, that lace? We have a medal on her chest that looks like a heart. Probably silver or gold, but adding color to this pendant would help us tell a story.
In family reports, Sofia was referred to as an angel. Sofia had an inn and sewed abroad to be able to raise her children alone. The pink pendant, the lace and pink lips seemed to balance this woman's strong features and sad look, with all the love she represents.
