JOY. A spiritual journey. I observe surface attentively, openly. Song, warmth, sensuality, hidden and revealed, reverberate – or perhaps originate? – within me. As I explore deep within flowers I encounter, and sense, the roots of desire. The very same roots of joy.

Paola Iacopetti, born 1966, PhD in Biology, is pursuing her passion for photography since 2015. Since 2017 she has held a number of solo exhibitions and taken part in several collective ones in Pisa, Lucca and Pietrasanta. She collaborates with other artists both as photographer and curator. Paola Iacopetti's photography progressively moved to abstraction over time, as she aims to investigate her spiritual and emotional connection with other living beings, beyond their surface. She photographs Soul Garden.
