Flower Island is the first publication by photographer Olimpia Taliani de Marchio.

The book encompasses the visual universe of the artist, gathering a selection of images taken in recent years around the themes of female subjectivity, body and nature.

The idea of vulnerability as a transformative element of women is the common thread linking the visual elements of the project: portraits, self-portraits and floral shapes coexist and come into communication in a stream of timeless images evoking freedom to be, feel and act.
