The title references the “Blue Fairy” from Pinocchio, a figure of moral transformation and hope. In this context, the fairy becomes a metaphor for change, an invitation to reimagine our relationship to power and production. Fata situates textile art within the discourse of global capitalism, using beauty as a critical device to confront the contradictions of modernity.
