It is not just about a body. All in all, a body alone is just a body, even if it is a beautiful body.
It is about more than that though. It is about using self-portraiture as a means to go beyond the body, beyond the surface and discover what is in the depths of the soul.
With this series Laetitia, at a fragile and delicate time in her life, wanted to explore and go in search of this warrior of light within herself.
The warrior of light is something we all have, inside of us.
It is a kind of entity that, in times of greatest difficulty gives us the strength we need to react and move forward. It is always with us, in our daily battles, and constantly guides us and help us to find our inner Truth. It spurs us to always go all the way, makes us overcome our limitations.

Of Italian mother and Corsican father, Laetitia Farellacci grew up in Corsica. At sixteen, she moved to Milan, where she still lives. Corsica, with its history, its strong character, its energy, its contradictions, its intense colors and scents, its lights and shadows, has always shaped her perception of the world.

Growing up in the silence of the darkroom, she explored still life and portraiture before finding in self-portraiture a powerful space for introspection. In 2021, she began a deeply personal project entirely dedicated to self-portraiture, a journey that continues to evolve, intertwining themes of roots, identity, memory, and the complexity of the feminine universe.

Three years of conscious connection with herself, photographic experimentation, and inner growth have led her to extend this vision to others. Today, her artistic practice embraces not only the self but also the experience of accompanying other women in a space of deep connection with themselves, where photography becomes a tool of exploration, transformation, and self-discovery.
