Ciry arrived in Rome from Germany to work as an au-pair last September 2020. Since her arrival Italy started new lockdowns due to second pandemic Covid-19 waive. Little by little masks became compulsory everywhere and everything started to close. No dinners with friends in the evening, no cinemas, no theatres, no musueums. The only thing she can do is to dress up well, going around and enjoy the empity city. Rome, October-November 2020. Italy

Born and grew up in Italy,rooted in a background in Geography and a life spent traveling across remote regions of the globe my photography explores the quiet dignity of people and places far from the spotlight.Inspired by the Humanist photographers of the 20th century,I focus on everyday life,cultural narratives and the unseen impacts of mass tourism.As a documentary and street photographer,I use the camera as both a research tool and a means of connection capturing intimate moments,my work is an ongoing exploration of humanity,change and the fragile balance between preservation and progress
