Maredentro (Series)
DESCRIPTION
I am so attracted by the sea that it captures me completely. 'Maredentro' means to me both ‘the sea inside’ and ‘inside the sea’. The visual and physical contact with the water, but also its musical dimension, nourishes in me a strong emotional relationship that allows a kind of epiphany: its flow and its rhythm lead me to a psychic reflection that I try to show in this series. In fact, I took these photos in the Ionian Sea of Salento: I was ‘inside the sea’, in order to live a particular intimacy with this element. I experienced a kind of spiritual freedom, a suspension of space and time where photographing became a purely intuitive act. The surface of the sea, its ‘skin’ embraced my gaze so that I plunged into its visual complexity and its patterns of ripples and waves, ephemeral fragments of water and light offered to me a wide range of new forms and colour combinations.
AUTHOR
Much of my work focuses on the language of nature, on my relationship with landscape and the natural world and I aim to render what I feel while shooting, rather than what I witness. I also think that sometimes common objects and simple landscapes evoke parallel worlds where dreaminess and double meaning prevail so that outer space gives voice to my inner gaze.
