WE CAN’T IMAGINE THE LENGHT OF TIME IT TOOK TO MAKE THE UNIVERS

This project is a tribute to the poem “8 Moons” written by Sharon Olds.
I am fascinated by the idea of creating a connection between literature (especially poetry) and photography.
My goal is to stage a visual poem, independent from the text which is inspired by, and yet enriched by it.
My research for beauty can be read as an escapism from the brutality of the contemporary world and as a rite of exorcism aimed at dealing with the fear of the future.
Project is currently exhibited at Circulation(s) Paris, France
