These photographs capture the extraordinary resilience of trees thriving in harsh conditions Each image tells a story of survival against the odds: roots clinging to sparse soil, branches stretching towards the sun despite obstacles. Much like these trees, humans often face challenging circumstances that test our strength and perseverance. These images symbolize the power of resilience and the capacity to grow and flourish even in the most difficult situations, reminding us that, just like nature, we can overcome adversity and find hope in the harshest environments.

I approached photography many years ago, initially to take photos during trips or special occasions. But then I felt the need to go beyond, to understand what photography truly meant. This led me to study at the Academy of Luciano Perbellini, a journey that completely transformed my approach to photography. Today, I don’t photograph just to capture a memory, but to express myself. Through images, I try to convey what words cannot say. I photograph because it makes me feel good; it’s my way to slow down, listen to myself, and observe the world around me.
