A female figure seeks an escape in a simple and neat inhabited interior. This is the theme of Simona Rota’s Big Exit, a photographic series in which the author uses this figure to reflect on the current individual's relationship with their immediate environment, their home. The relationship between the dimensionality of the cities, becoming larger, and the measures of their inhabited units, shrinking apartments, is one of the key elements of this reflection. Rota states there is a proportional relationship between the growth of cities and the small share that is designated to each inhabitant. Personal space is becoming smaller, the protagonist of her series searches then for an abrupt exit.

Usually the inhabitant tends to a symbiosis or adjustment with their space, but this process is not without pressure or frustration, as it can not be 100%. This series presents an impracticable or impossible solution and reveals the friction between the natural behavior of the individual and the internal partitioning of their compartment. The protagonist does not cease in their search within a personal but also neutral and recognizable space, that could belong to any of the people we know or live next door. Rota treats the small environment of the apartment as a landscape entity, uses lighting in order to transform the scene and its character, tunrning it into something surreal but at the same time close to the everyday viewer. In this way she aims to forcing the viewer to rethink their relationship with the environment and to question paradigms in the habitable spaces.
