About The Artwork
this work was shot in London in 2004 when I moved into my new house and the only things I had with me it was a bed, a few books a mirror and my analogue Nikon 35mm camera. I then started without even knowing my ongoing artistic research on self-portraits and the study of the persuasive power of the image and of the visual language. This self-portrait is a pivotal work that introduces all my other self-portraits and deals with the relationship with the body and with the image that continued through the years and developed and changed over time to become a statement on loneliness, sexuality and self-expression. At the time, I wasn't happy with my image, I struggled with being in my body and with the way I looked and the only time when I managed to overcome this uneasiness was when I used my camera to take a self-portrait. it helped me to transcend the struggle with my body and helped me to make connections with it and to make me feel that through art I was able to create something different that I like. the work is extremely poetic to me and I see the beauty of the time of being young, alone and brave

United Kingdom
Italian artist based currently in London. Her artistic practice investigates and questions the persuasive power of the image and of the visual language. Her body of work incorporates intimate yet universal experiences such as loneliness, abandonment, fear for emotional nakedness and failure. In touching on these topics, she aims to create a collision between opposite languages: the unreal and the imaginary, the document and the oneiric, the personal memory and the collective, aiming to trigger reactions by invoking primal and visceral emotions. She employs the photographic medium to create visual access to the many different readings of existence. Her work often addresses elements of sexuality, mysticism, body language and nature, to create a tense narrative that provokes and relives at the same time.
