Desert Garden is a photographic project born from the connection between the nature that surrounds me and the feelings they evoke.
The project is divided into two complementary parts, the first of which consists of 41 photographs. Through the images I explore the particular garden of my emotions, while paying tribute to absent people whose memory still remains as present as the aromas of this inner landscape. The color of absence – black – prevails in these works and I have used multiexposure as a photographic technique.
In the second part of the project I move from the intimate and private place to the shared place, which is portrayed in a habitat shaped by the nearby environment, a space in a continuous process of desertification. By means of 24 pieces I interpret nature’s geometric codes through the composition of fractal structures and kaleidoscopic images.
In conclusion, Desert Garden depicts our specific emotional nature that coexists fragilely with another superior one of which we are an indissoluble part.
