Family Diary
Since 2010, the year I moved to Germany, I have decided to dedicate part of my time to document my daily life. An intimate and instinctive diary that slowly turned into a familiar story. I slowly abandoned the limitations that the practice of a classic reportage would have entailed, focusing on everyday things not because they are interesting but because they just happen and their simplicity caught my attention.
Photography has the gift of revealing all these details and transforming my visions by bringing everything into uncharted territory.
