Tears of Stone

The portfolio was shot in Mustang, a remote region of the Nepalese Himalaya. A place where I have worked, a space were I have lived for nearly two decades: an enchanted open jail of an high altitude desert. And just like in a prison, time becomes the only means to observe, the silence its key of interpretation. My images like eyes trying to capture the misleading forms of beauty within Nature that only the waiting manage to unfold. Each and every shot a contemplation through silence, waiting for the very moment where the knowledge of what we have in front of our eyes shifts into something else. Reality is a lie and perception is deceiving. The state of things as they actually exist turns into a mere interpretation of what is altered around us: light, rain, snow, sun, even moods. The truth of things does not exist but in our own mind.
