The painting was inspired by the story of The Italian contemporary artist Pippa Bacca. Bacca was murdered in the midst of her last project. She was part of a world peace and trust effort known as “Brides on Tour.” She and a friend had departed from Milan on March 8, 2008, travelled through Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Bulgaria, and arrived in Turkey on 20 March 2008. The two artists only wore wedding dresses and reported on their website that “That’s the only dress we’ll carry along — with all stains accumulated during the journey.” Bacca went missing on March 31st in Gabze, Turkey. Her violated body was found on April 11, 2008. Police arrested 33 year-old Murat Karataş for the murder. The artists had planned to continue to hitchhike to Syria and then Lebanon, and arrive in Palestinian territories and Israel by mid-April. Their final destination was meant to be Jerusalem. The sadness of this tale is beyond words.
