Untitled-Imago Plantae

Observation of nature has always inspired human beings, who through poetry and the creation of symbols, have brought simple observation to reflections that have acted on every level of existence, human and spiritual. Haiku are a prime example of this, as they encapsulate the entire complexity of the world and emotions in a few simple lines.  My work, which starts with a simple snapshot, is then processed in the darkroom, where my experience tries to abstract itself from reality and the moment of the snapshot, in a transfiguration in which I try to transform reality, making the image a graphic sign as in a form of writing, in which the very symbols of language recall the thought that is transformed into words.

"Haiku must be able to create, in the mind of the reader, a small image..."

Jack Kerouac
