Visible light is energy that allows us to comprehend everything that surrounds us. However, if we close our eyes will still be possible to see, but through another kind of energy. The dark has the power to transform a tiny ambient into a huge place, create histories, recall memories, solve problems and invent solutions. Our body hides this invisible energy, fortunately, very visible to my photographic camera.
The first part of this project shows uncontrollable thoughts, their speed, inconsistency of feelings and fears, insomnia, loneliness, depression, anxiety and doubts. During silent and lonely moments that we usually low our shield, even if we cannot comprehend what’s going on, we speak with no words, see without eyes, hear without ears and feel without being touched. We’re stuck in an invisible cage created by us, for us. The second part smoothly shows when we develop self-compassion. When we open and point the chest to the horizon. The frequencies of the physical and interior world start to align together.
The criticism here is about how fast is the exterior evolution and the forgetfulness of the inner growth. We don’t comprehend ourselves as individuals anymore, leading to loss of meanings and inconsistency on our paths. Being happy and healthy should be a constant state of mind and not something rarely reach our way. We are really alone in the darkness.
The photos exhibit the lack of self-reflexion till a very serene person of someone who practice to sit, breath and send oxygen to the brain (and being conscious of that.) Pay more attention on the rhythm of the heart and less on the rhythm of chaos. The body is illuminated by a small and concentrate point of light that simulates the speed of incomprehensible thoughts, and later the same point spreads to a very strong mind. The flesh is the image of truth and desires, a magnet with two poles. Nudity can make us vulnerable and fragile, but also more secure and illuminated.
