title
the dark side of Love
It's a series that want to investigate in the Love issue, or what we believe to call "Love".
Sometimes we are so weak to accept everything, to let our partner be predominant,
until we totally forget who we are. The lost of our identity.
They are 5 photos as 5 stages to explain this process.
I added real pins and a red thread to simulate the net we remain trapped in.
Stage 01:
Falling in love. The begging of your wonderful story tail.
You get carried away with a smile and it’s so strong the feeling you trust in, that you naively close your eyes.
Stage 02
The blind love! If you are weak, and you are, you can’t realize the consequence of the mental manipulation. You are so stretch forward your Lover, that you are unconditionally available to accept everything.
Stage 03
It’s a slow process. Inevitably piece by piece the soul of your lover is established above yours, he silently penetrates into your EGO, building a strong net, and your personality became to disappear as long as you forget who you were before.
Stage 04
It’s the moment which you risk your own identity becoming who your partner think you are. This is not you, it’s you trapped by your partner.
Stage 05
But you don’t know it until you open your eyes up again and recognize you are stuck in what you've allowed. The lost of own identity. The dark side of love.
I'm obsessed with the time, every day I play my game against Him, and I'm always a loser. Taking photos it's the only way to stop the time.
I love pizza and salmon.

about the photographer
I'm proudly born in the South of Italy, but I spent half of my life in the North, studying interior design and architecture, and then working as an Architect/Visual Artist in Milan in an architectural studio. At 30y I decided to listen to my artistic voice, I went to States and I start to realize my art-projects and to curate a few small exhibitions. I started to discover who I really am and accepting myself was the best thing I ever have done.I'm obsessed with the time, every day I play my game against Him, and I'm always a loser. Taking photos it's the only way to stop the time.
I love pizza and salmon.
