Roman sea #1 Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Leila Leam is a visual artist and photographer based in Rome. Her artistic language blends photography, writing, and installation to explore the tension between intimacy and visibility, creating images that are both poetic and conceptually strong. In 2024 she presented her most significant project to date — a powerful solo exhibition at the Vatican’s Residenza San Pietro Canisio. Curated and organized entirely by Leam, this project transformed the space into an immersive reflection on identity, ritual, and presence. Through large-scale images and a carefully constructed narrative, the exhibition invited viewers to cross the threshold between the visible and the invisible, encouraging a personal dialogue with the work. Her artistic practice continues to investigate memory, fragility, and the sacred within the contemporary experience, offering images that resonate deeply in both private and public spaces.
