Choice
I have always been interested in the power of an image to convey ideas related to individual and collective experience. For me, photography is above all a tool to tell humanity, life, emotions, one's own spirit and that of others. I believe that photography is a tool to capture the essence of people and things, and as such a tool for self-knowledge.
Graduated in philosophy at the University of Bologna, I attend the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo, working at the same time on my photographic projects and collaborating in the field of associationism.
My focus at the moment is to collaborate with multidisciplinary artists to create eye-popping, breathtaking, thoughtful, provocative photographs.

entry description
Every step, every breath, everything is about choice. Life is about choice. Our lives, our stories are drawn from a series of decisions that have been taken for us or by us. A series of infinite rails that can lead us anywhere, allow us to become something different every time we progress. "Choice" represents the possibility to choose and it is intimate relationship with one own life. Inspired by Giovanni Fattori's "In Vedetta" for the colors and by Søren Kierkegaard for the themes, and set in Alberto Burri's cretto, this project is about contrast, is about freedom, it is about life. If it is true that every choice is a sacrifice, a yes or no decision, potentially irreversible, as the Danish philosopher said, it is also true that it is choices that let us discover or profound essence, our inner being. Choices shouldn't be only considered as a limitation, they shell too be considered as the reflection of freedom.about the photographer
