Red is our color

I have been documenting my parents and my children interacting during summer times for quite a long time now. Sally Mann's work on her family finally helped me to give this work its spin. The place is important because it's the house where I spent my summers as a kid, the people are important, it's my parents who gave me life and it's my kids to whom I gave birth to. The season is important, it's summer time. Observing them interacting in this place, I realized that my children were experiencing rituals I had myself experienced as a kid and which have deep meaning in my life as an adult. I started to wonder about the cycles of life, the meaning of rituals to raise children, the place of nature and how important is the relationship between generations to bring balance in education. In my family, nature bounds us, feeds us, makes us laugh, protect us, nourish our imagination. We shape nature with respect wondering about the moon, the wind, the temperature, the seasons. These ten photographies cover three summers - 2019 to 2021-, I wish through them, to give an insight of what we share, experience, transmit, of our rituals and personalities, I would like it to be timeless and at the same a testimony of time passing by.
