The Wasted Future

I’m shocked to see how things are thrown away, how in Italy enthusiasm, passion and energy of youngest generations are wasted. What I show here are digitally manipulated images of paradoxical ordinary life of children around bins and rubbish. As children are our future, and insane consumption is our present, my images are visual metaphors of a country that disposes too nonchalantly of its past, that has lost any sense of development, that doesn’t offer to youngest generations any chance of personal or social fulfillment: a country that does not invest in education, culture and in research throws away its own future. My work aims at stimulating a debate over what’s intrinsically wrong in such a social organization, and at promoting a new way of thinking to build a better future for our children.
