Feathers grow like night from the shoulders,
shadows stitch patterns on skin and wood.
A gaze, sharp as a blade’s edge,
holds time fast by the ankle.

Winged in motion
Winged in motion, she leans into the wind of her own making. The blur is a vow: nothing sacred stands still.
Hand in the Wings
Light leans in like a question; the mirror keeps its tremor.
Behind it all, the photographer’s hand holds the camera—
a quiet witness, breaking the fourth wall,
turning looking into being seen.
Another little pasta story
In a moment of pleasure and tradition, where the simplicity of a plate of pasta meets the beauty of a woman, celebrating the essence of Italian culture in a Mediterranean maritime setting.
Fragmented Reflection
A body caught between presence and illusion.
The mirror doesn’t reveal, it multiplies —
turning intimacy into shadow,
and shadow into desire.
Embrace of Silence
In the interplay of shadow and light, the human body seeks connection with what cannot respond. The mannequin becomes both partner and mirror — a reflection of longing, intimacy, and the fragile boundaries between presence and absence.
Between reflection and shadow
She lingers between reflection and shadow,
a silhouette caught in fading light.
The mirror does not reveal her fully—
it whispers fragments,
half-memory, half-dream.
In the hush of patterned walls,
she becomes both present and distant,
a fleeting figure stitched into silence.
Armonia scultorea
La figura femminile in una posa che unisce,Posa, Forza, e Delicatezza.Il corpo assume una forma quasi geometrica, con le gambe sollevate crea una punta che si staglia contro il nero profondo dello sfondo.
The female figure in a pose that combines Pose, Strength, and Delicacy. The body takes on an almost geometric shape, with the raised legs creating a point that stands out against the deep black of the background.
Like a memory
She moved like a memory — half real, half already gone.
In the stillness of the room, only the blur remained.
