Fine art photography projects The numerous photographic projects undertaken and published so far explore issues that compare photography with communication, timing and inner sphere. From the first photography project and the poetry ‘Time - between – Verses’ with the Opiemme poets, the path in search of images of great communicative power became clearer and clearer; ' Filters ’ explores the sociological and psychological patterns that influence individual choices and behavioral dynamics; ' Portrait of the artist’ attempts to capture the artistic gestures of those who, like the artist , have chosen art as a tool for expression, exploration and evolution, not only at the creative moment, but in quotidian life; ' Exploding Bride ’ is the artist’s first work to explore ‘the feminine side’ and reflects on the ‘thin veil of violence in the home’, often unseen or ignored; Following on is ‘Deforming Mirrors ’ about a woman's relationship with her own image; ‘Mammaschera ‘ is about motherhood; ‘Food-in-the-cage’ looks at the conflict between a natural longing for food and advertising’s ‘norms’ of how a woman should look; ‘Touch ’ is a work-in-progress on ‘tactile relief photography’ which tries to convey the essence of photography to blind people through touch and feeling.
