The human figure in the urban isolation becomes the main point of reflection, daily condition of many, a place of phobias, where reality loses meaning or amplify itself distorting the natural process of being beyond of their awareness and often in the silence.
Where the baggage of memories, lived images is reflected slowly emptying in the interior.
Visions of the past that fill in the blanks, emotions, sensations projected and overlapped by an enchanted and unconscious look that slowly drains their resources and become "dust"

Tormented likeness from the past to contemporary. What appears to be the eternal agony of paralysing guilt not yet eradicated.

Starting from the idea that life is opposed to the death only partially, because death is the end of life and so part of each other,
there can be a condition in which one has never had life.
A woman suffers from his isolation urban condition, pass into the vortex of memories and her experience as a 'tree which has been denied life
relives the circles of its existence in uncontrolled vertigo.
Life and death in solitude seem to be the same and the condition that distinguishes living matter from inanimate matter seems
In this case a whole.

"Polyptych of Hope," a set of five photographs that wants to be a tale of moments of reflection on the meaning of the life of a woman expecting a child during a moment of everyday city. She thinks about the environment, about the water as a sacred source of energy for life and the luck to have it available. She thinks about the future which is projected and hopes for her son and for all humanity.

The exploration of the female figure, the vision of personal and intimate behind the walls.
A future mother in a shower of the city located in an attitude of daily life, intimate, urban concealed in isolation,
fed from the water element, a moment of reflection on life.
Give therefore a trace of herself, of what was, what is and what will be.

"contemporary fossil"

Pala of recovered consciousness
The water source of life behind all life forms known, essential component of the universe, not surprisingly deep
symbolic and sacred value of all religions.
Therefore always the 'primary importance of this element is recognized with a deep awareness
Visceral awareness that becomes aware
Related to water deities, demigods made to protect the sacred element.
Now, it seems that in the countries of abundance and waste, it has forgotten its sacredness and vital importance.
Here is the need to protect the water, returning to exalt the sacredness hoping the defense by the new generations
educated to an awareness of the use without waste.
Nymphs ready for a renewed awareness of the vital element of water.
