PLACES (LUOGHI)

The Places series deals with the notions of absence/presence, loss, and memory, combined with the exploration of the meaning of "place," and the possibility of rendering this philosophical concept into a work of art.
In this sense, these works relate closely to the works from the "Atopies" series, the "M" works and, in particular, the “Tombeaux” works.
Compared to these previous series, the Places works seem to be more conclusive - they concentrate “meanings”, “things that happened”, “parts of lives”.
