The project represents an intimate and cathartic journey through loss,pain and water.It offers the simplest of communicative acts:a liberating scream.However,it is a silent scream where words come out as bubbles.There was a time when we could sink our sufferings into dilated,expanded times,paradoxical fruits of the privilege of having time.Then we discovered that our hypertrophied interiority had to hide in a corner.In these shots there is the elaboration of a mourning,of a dramatic experience of miscarriage,and that scream wants to express anger,desperation but also the will to move forward.

Graduated as a Professional Photographer from the Istituto Superiore di Fotografia e Arti Visive in Padua. My art often explores themes related to the body, identity, and perception, employing techniques that integrate visual and conceptual elements. I primarily work in the studio, ensuring that post-processing does not compromise the expressive and compositional authenticity of each shot.
