We are made of cycles. Births, transformations, waits. Some creations take shape quickly, others have slower incubations. Some never come to be, but even what doesn’t emerge leaves an imprint. Nothing is truly wasted: every experience, every fragment of life settles and transforms. To die and be reborn is not only of the flesh: it is of thoughts, desires, and projects. And sometimes, like in a cocoon, we remain wrapped in the wait for the right time to open up again.

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.
