Invisible Cages.

From January till May 2022 I travelled in Europe, from Lisbon to Palermo, Rome, Sofia and Paris and I made this series of photos, trying to open my heart and my eyes to the world, every day, every single moment.

I tried to split seconds in my head and I saw grains of people walking by. And sometimes I saw only chains and cages, I saw sorrows behind laughs. And I tried to catch them, one by one, all emotions, that “cruelty” of the street.

For me it’s very important to see “inside” people, inside their souls. I am thirsty for that raw and cruel feeling of touching something I maybe don’t like but I want to experience.

This series of photos is about lonely people, about lights and shadows, about contrast, it’s about each of us.
