Kintsugi is the ancient Japanese art of repairing broken ceramic objects by using gold lacquer to mend the cracks, celebrating imperfections and fractures as a precious part of their history. In the same way, this photographic project was created to celebrate the resilience and strength of women who have faced tumors and subsequent surgeries that […]
Life goes on and I stand still watching it. I look back over my years and feel an emptiness that remains, with difficulty I drag this heavy body into the space I am allowed. Outside everything is in motion, imperfection dances, but here it is an obsession. What is true about what I’m experiencing? I […]
Why are most people, both men and women, stunned to see a woman with a very muscular body? For thousands of years we have been accustomed to the idea of a powerful and dashing male body, while the female one alternated between a shapeliness synonymous with wealth and fertility and a frail thinness enhancing by […]
Reading a photography book, I focused on a page that described the concept of “Hidden Mothers”. During the Victorian period the first cameras required long exposure times, for this reason the children (who had to remain still) were photographed together with their mothers, who were then removed from the image during printing, or hiding them […]
On 20 March 2020, at the height of the most dramatic phase of the covid19 emergency in Italy, the most affected regions tried to stem the infection by imposing restrictive measures for the entire population.

Baffled and hungry. Always.

We are distanced ourselves from the beauty and the magic of simply being as human beings. But […]
We are animals in captivity, but our zoo is so big that we fail to recognise its bars. As the animals in cages unsuccessfully seek an intimate space where to recover their identity, in the same way in parks, gardens and artificial islands we want to find some oasis where we can feel at ease. […]
Some photographic projects take their form after months of reflection, years of work and maybe a life of incubation. Other projects, on the other hand, are conceived and generated so quickly that they seem to last the space of a dream, but with such an intensity to dilate and dilute time. These photos are born […]
Since I was a child I followed, step by step, the path my grandmothers, my aunts and my mother were going through. I used to watch them, so getting more and more into being a woman. Over the years I understood that I had recorded and impressed in my unconscious, which was gradually emerging and […]
‘Here are lions’ is the Latin phrase used to indicate in ancient maps unknown and unexplored locations, where wild, mythological beasts were supposed to live, and where venturing was highly discouraged. Today Google Maps have made everything easier and the inscription “Istituto Palazzolo per Istituti Pii” has replaced those topographic warnings. This is a nursing […]
