ARTIST STATEMENT​

I photograph nature because its slow and silent rhythms provide fertile ground for contemplation and imagination. Trees and rocks are, to me, like “tuning forks,” capable of bringing me back into harmony with simpler and more essential frequencies, helping me question the way we perceive reality and reflect on aspects of life such as time and impermanence.

My projects, whether connected to specific territories or to more open and conceptual imaginaries, unfold through narrative sequences in which details and fragments take on a central role. Over the past year, writing has become an increasingly important component of my practice, both in the development of projects and as a parallel language alongside the images.
