directors_notes

The project was born in lockdown in 2020 as a photographic series of selfportraits taken in the environments of my house. The initial intent was to explore everyday spaces through a new look, a new approach: everything was born as a fun therapeutic way in a moment of social closure and isolation in our homes. Later I had the intuition that these shots needed to be moved, so I decided to connect the photographs to tell a single story and it worked: the common thread was the process and the concept of physical space merging with mental space.
