A photography work exploring prolonged exposure times while
performing movements directly with the camera.
I’ve been evolving this technique as an escape from the humdrum images
filling my routines;
I am inspired by the commonplace aspects of life,
the inner relations between human and nature:deeds, tensions and harmonies.
Instinctively, I began projecting my emotions through movements performed directly into the camera.
This challenging technique of light-drawing helped me discover the vision of a drifted and spontaneously decomposing reality.
