Thank you jury of the TIFA 2023.
Nita My Love’ is part of the series ‘Traces into the Unknown’ in which I investigate the traces of love left behind after losing the love of you life. As memories are slowly changing and or fading, I started digging in the archives of images trying to understand and visualize how feelings of love can still be so incredible strong, overwhelming and vivid, even without the physical presence of Nita.
Trying to find new balance and coping with the loss, I know that working in the darkroom will help to clear my mind and bring back sparks of beauty in my life.
This portrait of Nita was also taken at the former Convitto Palmieri in Lecce for the museum project ‘The Living Archives’ ❤️
