What remains

The rotating fields are, within cemeteries, those portions of land prepared to receive new burials. In alternating periods, older graves are removed to make way for the new ones. What remains, for a more or less brief period, is an empty, barren field, devoid of vegetation, which for several years had hosted the bodies of the deceased and, with them, all the objects brought to those graves by friends and relatives.

In this temporarily desolate space, traces of past lives emerge: objects, clothes, and memories left by loved ones. These fragments, scattered in an apparently barren land, tell stories of emotions, affections, and memories belonging to people who were once connected to them.

From the ground, things emerge, as if in a confused embrace of stones, leaves, and grass, revealing a complex and small world. My exploration within these fields translates into a meticulous and almost obsessive visual collection of these artifacts. Each photograph is conceived as a unique texture, aimed at telling stories that remain enigmatic and unfinished.

This project is not just documentation, but an emotional exploration. Each image is a fragment of a story we will never fully know, but which invites us to reflect on the ephemeral nature of life and the indelible marks it leaves behind.
