Voodoo

"According to the voodoo belief these masks are animated by the spirits of the ancestors who, thanks to these transitory bodies, can communicate with their families by giving advice and guidance.

 As a good photographer, a maniac of aesthetics, I approached to fix a piece of clothing and was kindly reminded that you can’t touch spirits: it could be fatal! 

 This link with the memory of ancestors has aroused in me the desire to immerse myself in this world and has allowed me to add a stage in my artistic journey along with the reflection on the theme of memory. This is why I decided to accompany the photographic portraits with local fabrics, so rich in symbolic shapes and colours that reinforce a story that originates with the genesis of the world."
