The series was inspired by the female form and nature. Ordinary plastic flowers, stuffed animals, leaves, and branches found near my studio and destined for the rubbish bin are combined with women posing like porcelain figurines, almost never making eye contact with the photographer, against a neutral canvas background. Flooded by loud and intrusive images, I wanted to express the delicacy of women in their most introspective form—their intimacy, their unique presence, and their fragile, ephemeral beauty. Each woman is presented religiously as a unique, precious icon, my sincere celebration of femininity. Limited-edition prints, 40x40 cm, on Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta 325 g/m². For those interested, the works can be viewed without obligation, by appointment, at my studio in Genoa.
