Photography, for me, is a bridge between reality and imagination, a space where fleeting moments are transformed into timeless narratives. My work explores memory, identity, and the emotions embedded in places, light, and textures. Through my lens, I seek to reveal the unseen, uncovering intimate stories hidden within the fabric of everyday life.
My artistic practice blends pictorialism with street photography, merging the spontaneity of urban life with the evocative aesthetics of painting. I am particularly drawn to techniques that challenge perception—long exposure, double exposure, and stop motion—allowing me to blur the boundaries between the tangible and the dreamlike. This interplay of techniques invites viewers to engage with my images emotionally, finding their own connections within the visual narratives I create.
I also shoot with film, embracing its tactile nature and the unique characteristics it brings to the creative process. The grain, texture, and depth of analog photography add another layer of meaning to my work, reinforcing the themes of memory and transience that I continuously explore. Film allows me to slow down, be intentional with every frame, and cultivate a deeper connection with my subjects and surroundings.
My background in quantum physics deeply informs my creative approach. Concepts such as the behavior of light, the fluidity of time, and the balance between order and chaos influence my photographic process. Each image becomes an experiment—a carefully crafted interplay of science and emotion, structure and serendipity. I am drawn to themes of transience: how memories fade, how identities shift, and how places hold echoes of those who have passed through them.
Having lived in different cultures—Brazil, Singapore, France, South Korea, and now Italy—my perspective is shaped by diverse influences. I am fascinated by the way people interact with their environments, how urban landscapes carry traces of history and personal stories. Projects like Once Called Home, A Timeless Land in Motion, and Many Chinas explore the intersections between culture and individual experience, capturing the nuances of belonging and displacement.
Ultimately, my photography is an invitation—to pause, to reflect, and to see the extraordinary within the ordinary. It is a visual dialogue between past and present, presence and absence, reality and imagination. Each image I create is a whisper of a story waiting to be heard, a fragment of time suspended in light and shadow.
