The project explores the theme of life and biodiversity,focusing on homeostasis—the tendency of living organisms to maintain stability. The artworks feature beings from the animal kingdom Amorphea and are created using a manual collage technique, involving the cutting and recomposition of over 700 images. The manual technique, with its intrinsically imperfect nature, highlights the principle of evolution and biodiversity as the result of an endless series of errors and random variations. Similarly to cellular life, every new life is born from another one that preceded it

Biography

Graduated as a Professional Photographer from the Istituto Superiore di Fotografia e Arti Visive in Padua. My art often explores themes related to the body, identity, and perception, employing techniques that integrate visual and conceptual elements. I primarily work in the studio, ensuring that post-processing does not compromise the expressive and compositional authenticity of each shot.
