I was my body
This series of self-portraits was born from the need to look back at my own body after going through a clinical depression. It then became a ritual to shoot them on Sunday morning.
We live the experience of hell and heaven through the body.
Everything remains and changes there, inescapable record of our passage through the world.

entry description
I grew up in Rome, surrounded by Catholic and Baroque iconography whose influence has been inevitable in my visual universe. The glorification of suffering and the obsession with feminine virginal purity are themes that in one way or another reappear in my works.This series of self-portraits was born from the need to look back at my own body after going through a clinical depression. It then became a ritual to shoot them on Sunday morning.
We live the experience of hell and heaven through the body.
Everything remains and changes there, inescapable record of our passage through the world.
