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 the age of sixteen she moved to Milan, where she still lives.
Corsica, with its history, its strong character, its particular energy, its contradictions, its intense colors and scents, its lights and shadows has always influenced her perception of the world. Growing up in the silence of the darkroom, passing through still life and portraiture, she ended up meeting herself with self-portraiture.

In 2020, she began working on a self-portrait project that soon became a true and profound process of inner investigation and search for authenticity.
The use of the body, combined with continuous photographic experimentation, becomes the means of perceiving and channeling emotions within herself, and then returning them to the outside world and sharing them with the viewer.
