title
Aurelia
Widowed and suffering for the recent death of her son, shows me his photo and bedroom.
Her face gets a mask of sorrow finding solace in the typical local spirit made of plums ,called Horinca.
Glass after glass she stands in silence while her memories fill her with that magic atmosphere which
has impressed me so much and never abandoned since then.
My first approach to the photo dates back to 2009 and since then I've been emotionally involved by the great power of images in communicating and amazingly evoking words,alongside with the innermost expressions of the soul.
Only images can transform ojective reality into a new creation giving voice to the individual secret world.
An endless dialogue between appearing and being, a charming journey into women's visions, where the body goes beyond space and time to plunge into a dreamlike dimension.
I share Francesca Woodman's quote." You can get excitement by watching an image, but you'll never be able to guess what lies behind.

entry description
Wandering on the hills of Preluca in Maramures, I bump into a wonderland. Farm animals in total freedom around traditional cottages run very often by women on their own. The one who , in spite of her hard work, welcomes me is Aurelia who step by step lets me jump into her world.Widowed and suffering for the recent death of her son, shows me his photo and bedroom.
Her face gets a mask of sorrow finding solace in the typical local spirit made of plums ,called Horinca.
Glass after glass she stands in silence while her memories fill her with that magic atmosphere which
has impressed me so much and never abandoned since then.
