Photography, for me, is a practice of presence. Each image is a trace of an experience, a way to explore awareness, detachment, and being.

I let go of roles and definitions, creating without ego, embracing each moment as it comes.
Meaning arises from how we act—through love or fear, awareness or not.

We are transient forms, always in motion. "I am nothing in the Universe, yet nothing in the Universe is not me." In this awareness, photography dissolves separation, revealing life as it is and celebrating it with authenticity.

Laetitia Farellacci (1977) is an Italian-French photographer whose research has developed over more than twenty-five years as a space for personal and visual exploration.
Growing up in the silence of the darkroom, she explored various photographic languages until she found her own expressive territory in self-portraiture and the forms of nature. Her practice investigates themes related to roots, identity, and memory, gradually opening up to a vision in which the separation between subject and world is blurred.
Her Corsican origins have profoundly influenced her sensibility: the island where she grew up until adolescence continues to permeate her work through atmospheres, contrasts, light, and matter.

The self-portrait becomes for her an instinctive space for experimentation, in which the body is an instrument of listening and crossing over. Each project stems from a process of perception and inner transformation that translates into a visual narrative capable of going beyond the individual story, opening up to a broader and shared dimension of experience.
