I’m a photographer interested in
humans and psychological realities.
I research the representation of mental health, both as an individual perception and in its sociocultural development.I’m working on a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychosocial Studies. I write Making Pictures.

Men and women, as embodied beings — in their clothes, their shoes, the color of their hair — fully inhabit the material world, vulnerable to an all-seeing, pornographic gaze: a gaze that never wavers, always knows where to linger, and strips them bare.
This photography yields to the temptation of reducing being to representation — a domain from which the being escapes, withdrawing to a space beyond the visible. Thus, the gaze is left disoriented, unsure where to rest.
This is a work of fiction, built on real footage, and rooted in love.

A park is a public area that features trees, paths, and benches. It can serve as a garden, playground, or a place for people to congregate.
However, a park can also be seen as a psychological space that encourages social connections and the development of new meanings. By providing a space for community members to come together, parks can foster a sense of empowerment and contribute to community growth.
I focused on exploring the newly renovated green space called Parco Nord, an urban forest still growing. With the help of the people who live, work and visit Villa Angaran, I collected visual traces in the form of colors, light and energy of this new community experience.
