The photo “War, A Game with No Winners” belongs to a series called Hands Project and was born after a few years of photography practice. Prada has a particular affinity for black and white photography, stating that her world is defined by these tones. Hands are her preferred subject, as she is captivated by their ability to convey emotion and establish connections. To Prada, photographing hands Is like deciphering a silent poetry that speaks loudly about relationships, emotions, and cultural nuances

A passionate chess enthusiast, Prada chose this specific photograph to represent the concept of stalemate, with both fallen kings, symbolizing the futility of war. She believes that in conflict, there are no true winners; humanity, collectively, suffers the loss.
