Color and absence of color is what I worked on for Rik Oostenbroek's creative contest, #ShowYourself. In this piece I imagined colors slipping off the face. A still life is a nature that has lost its colors and this is what happens to us when we stop dreaming

The Haunted Beauty

Kaleidoscope #22

In "Kaleidoscope - Fragments of Identity," by altering my physical features, I intend to challenge the viewer's perception of reality and question the very nature of identity. A person is composed of infinite aspects that change and update over time. To truly see her in her entirety, one must observe each of these aspects. I thus imagined myself as a colorful kaleidoscope (each of us is!).

What awaits us in this theater will not be the notions of sense, meaning, value but those, rather, of suspension, risk, bet, checkmate, play, seduction, death. A putting to death of meaning.

Locus Solus is a play by Memè Perlini, one of the most representative exponents of Italian avant-garde theater, inspired by Raymond Roussel's surreal 1914 novel.

Locus Solus

Pudor

The light veil enveloping the delicate, sinuous figure caressed by a summer breeze suggests a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The gaze combines sweetness and sensuality with a vein of melancholy. The complex human emotions and nuances of the soul.

Vulnerable

The face stands out from the rock, and the gold and sand that become entangled in his hair and clothing are the legacy of primitive instincts and emotions that still guide man today.

Soul Traces

In prehistory, masks had a symbolic value of protection and connection with the supernatural. Today, they play a role in cultural expression, art, entertainment, identity protection, fashion, and design. Women's makeup is, too. The meaning has evolved over time but the mask still remains a powerful tool for human expression and communication.

The Mask

Exploring the theme of perception of reality and its subjective representation, I reinterpreted a 21st century architectural work - Massimiliano Fuksas' The Cloud - by transforming it into an emotionally engaging visual experience.

I delved into the intricate harmonies of the design, trying to discover the rhythm and cadence woven into the very fabric of the built environment.

Completely immersed in the forms and colors of the Cloud, I went beyond the boundaries of the physical form of the building itself, into a dreamlike and purely abstract exercise.
