Human memory is an extraordinary process that researchers are still trying to better understand. Our memories make us who we are, yet the process is not perfect. While we are capable of remembering an astonishing amount of information, we are also susceptible to mistakes and errors. Time is a perpetual entity which transcend from our lives where no traces are left of the beginning or the end; we comprehend and align to its forms under an everlasting overlap of memories. The grasp of the new awareness is the meaning in which our reality lies in, a simple memory is what fills the void with faith for a next one to follow. These are "non images" of an ancient journey through different realities, a profound experiment, perhaps an attempt to lead you towards rebelling memories, overlapping their meaning and origins. Sometimes we only get a glimpse of what there was and immediately something else appears right after that…This is why we often forget. A visionary conceptual approach to the use of mixed media, defining the artist background and its roots itself. The bizarre usage of analog photographs under different formats, among textiles layers, can be seen as an asset to an encrypted nostalgic scenario which we might only evoke through memories.
Is an ongoing series investigating the connection between art, nature and sustainability. Art as veihicle of expression, a medium or an indictment, on behalf of sustainable development. .
Some of the best memories of my life are from my Grandma’s house. I always loved going to her house because it made me feel safe and protected. A place full of love.. People always have a place that they go to where memories are made. The Grandma's house will be always the place to make those memories.
Trough this project the altering of the perspective creates a different/alternative perception. The space and the environment are the real protagonist of this project. This project is an exploration of form and space. The ongoing series is composed of images taken in different places: Italy, Berlin, Slovenia.
This project talks about the hidden part of ourselves and about what we allow or not allow ourselves to be, show and reveal to the world. This project come from some reflections on the dichotomy between good and evil and about dichotomy between realism and idealism.
Rooms in old houses, hotels and villas, filled with the presence of young female figures, telling stories of the past. Rooms full of memories , with small parts of lived lives. 2013-2015
This images are part of a project called ''Do not disturb'' a project executed in the background of an old italian villa where the atmosphere of the spaces and the rooms is full of past. In this contest I wanted to ''not disturb'' things which are laying quietly
female figures absent, but at the same time present in their intimacy. Ancient spaces and rooms where female figure enters into intimacy with herself between memories beauty and dreamlike visions. All this as time goes on..
hands express our interiority hands speak of us hands express our real life, the way by which our mind comes into contact with reality of the world and make us understand a lot of our past. We can say that the eye is the point of entry into the labyrinth of a person's emotional and physiological , hands are the exit point, where the subject realized his intentions, building so its history and its identity. ..to my Father..
It is a project that started thinking about ''do not disturb the things the rest".. These photographs were taken in an old abandoned villa in Italy where the past is still present. The model is Gaya M.
