Anthropomorfosis
The leitmotif of each of my projects always has an identity basis, whether it is collective or individual expressions, through travel or personal experiences, conceptual representations or close portraits. I live my photographic experiences as a continuous revolution, as if it were a magnet that projects me towards a future, partly visible, but mostly to be discovered. The commitment in my projects is mainly to establish a relationship with a social context, through the technique of participating observation, trying each time to establish an honest balance between what my gaze is able to see and what the subject that photographer wants to convey.

entry description
I worked eight months on this project. After a trip to India, which profoundly changed my approach to the environment, I felt the need to represent all my discomfort towards the excessive production of plastic materials. I used about 12000 caps of water bottles, 8000 pieces of scrap aluminium, bottles and various plastics, including 10000 meters of irrigation pipes for greenhouses. From an initial cohabitation between human being and plastic, I have free of charge arrived at the total submission of the human being. The nativity scene works as a prelude to death, here the mother begins to be aware that she has given birth to something not human. For this project I involved my mother, my sister and important friends, all able to represent, in my opinion, the stages of the process of destruction of humanityabout the photographer
My Love for Photography comes from an anthropological background that over the years has led me to observe every aspect of the cultural expressions that I happened to observe.The leitmotif of each of my projects always has an identity basis, whether it is collective or individual expressions, through travel or personal experiences, conceptual representations or close portraits. I live my photographic experiences as a continuous revolution, as if it were a magnet that projects me towards a future, partly visible, but mostly to be discovered.
