Viola (Purple) is considered the color of the double, the transition, but also the desire to be different and erotic. It has within it the vitality of red and the intimacy of blue and expresses a kind of primitive, violent, instinctive strength.
“Viola” is the third person singular present indicative of “violate”, the origin of which is perhaps the Latin word “vis” (face) or “force”.
It is a reasoning on violence, asking oneself about it and its consequences.
