About The Artwork

What is a window? An opportunity. A new possibility, an invite to a different path. In architecture is an aperture, an alternative to a solid structure, and emphasis on the interior and the exterior. In the arts, it is a source of light, a motif with symbolic associations of illumination and hope, or used to make us understand the beauty they saw in a particular scene. And lastly, windows can be used as lenses, that document the objective view of the world. At the end of 2012, I was in Florida. I was in a very chaotic moment of my life, changing my career and battling myself to find a new artistic language. Traveling around the south of Florida, I was photographing the architectonic and landscape scenario I was encountering. One day I was on one of my lonely walks in Miami. And I found myself at 110 NE 40th St, and I saw this scene from the sidewalk watching inside this window store (or better say what before was a store). The destruction of the construction. I was able to see through the demolitions and the caterpillar. I could see the end of the block and the buildings on 39th and 38th street. But a window is also a mirror, we can see the reflection of ourselves or what’s behind. That was exactly a look inside me. A frame that should show you something beautiful and finished, it was just a portal to a more deep scenario and disruptive self. It was my “Human Condition” (“La condition humaine” - Magritee 1933-1935 “…This is how we see the world. We see it outside ourselves, and at the same time we only have a representation of it in ourselves…”

I am from Palermo, a city in the south of Italy. Thanks to my parents I was able to travel when I was a teenager, experience different cultures, and have completely different experiences. Those small contrasts between my city and others, made me understand that that was not where I wanted to live my entire life, so I started traveling alone at the age of 16; Europe, South America, etc, until now, that I am stable in the US. I shot my first photo when I was six years old (1990). A photograph of my father and my mother hugging each other. We were in Rome. I still have that photo with me, it is a reminder of how everything has a meaning and happens for a reason. I care deeply about photography, it is how I express myself and my point of view to the outside world. I am inherently interested in this discipline as a way of conceiving the city, the architecture, the people, their emotions, and their stories. I search for the unexpected, the untold, the overlooked, and reveal any hidden facets that the subject – be it a person or a city street – might withhold. My work is mainly based on architecture/interior, and portraits. I love how architecture can be a portrait of the society and the world we live in, and how a portrait of a person is the structure of the life each one of us lives every day.
