Image part of my ongoing project “Elsewhere” exploring ideas such as displacement, the landscape as a coping strategy and nature as transcendental space.
Challenging the restless feeling of not belonging, otherness and the cultural constrains, the landscape has offered me a cathartic relief, shaping a renewed sense of connectedness with nature. Making both real and imaginary landscapes, I dissolve space and time, creating an interruption, an absence, giving a feeling of being elsewhere. Reality is suspended, reminding us we are just a small part of nature, united with it.
There is an invitation, seeking us to ponder and reflect, to create a moment of emptiness, a spark of consciousness. In all the nuances of simplicity the divine is revealed, helping us to understand the world through an act of solitude. Photography becomes an instrument through which I can reveal not only the nature that encloses me, but the nature that reflects the landscape within.
A silence arises reproducing a calm and precious universe, suspended in time, next to the world itself.
A transcendental space evoking an allegory of a place called home.
