Read MoreThe Sibillini Mountains are rich in narratives closely tied to the figure of the Apennine Sibyl. Prophetess, friend of the people, Madonna, pagan deity, personification of evil—she embodies the place's inherent ambiguity
Read MoreThe concession of the word being carries within it a sense of decadence, forgetfulness, and unawareness. The brilliance of the beginning illuminates our understanding, but it does so by confronting us with our own negativity.
Read MoreThe premise of my project is around the hyperreality produced by Disneyland as a manufactured architectural happiness. I shot the work on several separate occasions concentrating on the facades and imagining it coming together as a series of postcards. There are a lot of underlying themes, consumerism, utopian dream, 'Meinong's Jungle', all of which add to a satirical and sickly sweet view of the place.

Read More‘You Are Everything to Me’ reflects on the expected role of motherhood in the patriarchal vision; an idealised myth that dictates how mothers should feel and behave according to social norms. Through my images, I delve into the unsettling reality faced by some mothers who become prisoners of their maternal life, weighed down by the negation of their own well-being, desires, and identity. Through my work, I seek to dismantle the poetic imagery and stereotypes surrounding motherhood, and shed light on the silent battles faced by countless mothers who live through something so universally treasured and revered - motherhood - with extreme loneliness and despair. I invite the viewers to hear the voices of all those mothers who find it difficult to ask for help, either out of shame or for fear of their own sentiments. In an era where just a handful of nations have taken concrete steps to implement supportive policies, I am driven to raise awareness of, and provoke much-needed conversations about, these concealed and unsupported experiences so these important - if difficult - stories can be told.
The project relates my special connections to the sea and swimming. Since childhood, the sea has been a symbolic environment for me, from which I draws psychological certainty and support. Swimming, physically overcoming the expanse of the sea, becomes a metaphor for the path to oneself, an accessible way of reassembling one’s personality, a simple way to look into one’s own depth.
