Material Identities
There is something fascinating about seeing, touching, and imagining the history of objects that belonged to other people. Objects that were once precious to someone but now seem devoid of value, suspended in a new dimension of anonymity. This makes me reflect: what value do we assign to things? What energy do they carry with them?
This project is a visual reflection on the material world and its interconnectedness with our lives. Through photographs, I explore the meaning and value we attribute to objects, investigating the stories and emotions they convey.

Greenhouses
Greenhouses are a distinctive feature of the flat Dutch landscape in the western part of the Netherlands. Their presence and development are emblematic of this region. Inside these glass structures, a diverse array of products is grown and cultivated around the clock, every day of the year. This series captures the essence of their presence and provides a glimpse into these transparent houses. What does it mean to be born and grow in a controlled environment?
Oreste
My grandfather, Oreste, was part of that post-war generation that rebuilt a country from scratch, inventing professions where there were none and contributing to the economic recovery of a nation on the brink. In a small workshop, he was a craftsman, producing chairs, sofas, and curtains, all meticulously handmade. These unique pieces, crafted alongside his fellow artisans, helped shape the cultural identity of a nation.
In this context, we find ourselves confronted with an economic reality increasingly influenced by large multinational corporations. Economic giants dominate the business landscape, exerting a profound impact on the economy, society, and culture.
