I created this series of illustrations with the intent of representing my personal feelings post-pandemic. I gave myself a challenge trying for the fist time to represent the outside world as holograms, leaving the inside of confined spaces as the new reality. The fear of the new reality that seems not real anymore and trying to dissociate this feeling inside me.
These illustrations represent the current relationship between man and nature, which in a holistic perspective speaks more of us than of nature. This pieces represents a human being who plays with nature, who has a delusion of omnipotence, which represents the toxic relationship between human beings and nature showing the problem but also the solution. Without the present there is no future.
Ti ho visto in mezzo alla neve
Con le mani a reggere il cielo,
Ti ho cercata nelle gocce
Di marea,
Ti ho scrutata nel cielo del giorno
Mentre il riflesso tra i fiocchi
Di un cielo ghiacciato
Ci scaldava in un abbraccio
Tra acque all’essenza
Di un giorno di bufera
