"Myself. And that's it." Photograph - Limited Edition of 9

Giclee Fine Art printing, on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper. Signature on front upon request. Signed and numbered on the back. This photograph is part of the "House of Time Standing Still" project. The first time I came to Palermo (Sicily) I was literally stunned by the beauty of the Baroque and Liberty palaces of the city. Most of these buildings have remained, since World War II, in a state of neglect and abandonment. They retain, nevertheless, all the beauty of their ancient glory. I have found that Sicily also possesses the perfect light to transform time into memory. Obsessed with the passing of time, it was natural for me to consider the fate of women. I have chosen to work with young women, not professional models, captured in natural light. Lost in these vast spaces, these women are evidenced by a light at times dramatic and gloomy that allows me to create the illusion of stopping time, freezing their youth and beauty into an eternal moment that makes a mockery of the future.
