What would it be like if a white line split your town in
two?
Along the border between Italy and Slovenia, in the cities of Gorizia and Nova Gorizia, this project seeks to capture the essence of those who live in the in-between—where cultures intertwine and identities blur.
Through the stories of its inhabitants, I aim to convey what it means to live on a border
today, exploring the cultural identity of its people through their stories, memories, and
traditions.
While politics has often used borders to divide populations, these communities have
remained united in their commitment to embracing a diverse heritage. In doing so, they
inspire pluralistic societies in a political climate increasingly prone to fostering cultural
divisions.
The Anthropocene shapes our world in both visible and hidden ways, driving vast industrial systems that continually reshape our relationship with nature. This project examines those forces by tracing their tangible impacts, revealing the hidden costs of models that place profit above the planet's fragile balance.
To grow a single flower in an industrial facility, more than eight chemical products are used, pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides, soil conditioners, each carrying stories of human and environmental exploitation. Their passage is not forgotten by the earth; it lingers in the soil, a silent trace of the price paid. Their beauty is brief, destined to fade within days, yet in that short moment it conceals a disturbing truth: all that remains is only a memory of beauty, and the cost we choose not to see.
Emerging from personal research, field observations, and photographic exploration, the project brings together images of landscapes, objects, and materials tied to this industry. The 3D machine-gaze reconstruction of the flower further exposes its artificiality, a digital echo of something that no longer exists in its natural form but survives as an artificial creation shaped and perfected to become a product, altering even our memory of what a flower is.

This project explores absence, memory, and the ways iden- tity is constructed through fragments, imagination, and inherited traces. When a person exists more through stories, memories, or projections than through direct presence, their image becomes something continuously reconstructed over time.
The work investigates the process of searching for someo- ne through details: gestures, physical similarities, objects, memories, and imagined narratives. Moving between reality and speculation, it reflects on how personal histories are shaped not only by what is known, but also by what remains missing, unresolved, or unspoken.
Through this investigation, the project attempts to recon- struct a relationship that exists between memory and ima- gination, questioning how absence can continue to shape emotional and psychological landscapes over time.
Un Vento che Pare si Muova
Ongoing / Riso Print.
This ongoing photographic project explores the small rural villages of Italy, many of which are inhabited predominantly by elderly residents. Through my work, I aim to rediscover these communities and their cultural traditions, capturing the quiet beauty, resilience, and unique ways of life that are at risk of disappearing. At the same time, the project addresses broader social and environmental concerns, documenting stories of human and territorial exploitation, the effects of depopulation, and the tensions between tradition and modernization.
Oreste
2021
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.
