This series is a monochrome dream, a threshold opened in darkness. An inner place where losing oneself becomes a necessary act. The images are crystallised in a timeless dimension. As in dreams, incongruity finds its own truth. What emerges is a visual narrative that does not seek to explain, but to preserve a profound, intimate, irreducible emotional truth.

Nicoletta Cerasomma is an Italian artist born in Lucca. Her research investigates the erasure of feminine identity — through memory, violence, and silence — using photography, installation, and archival materials. Dust, gold, fire, and light become agents of meaning in works that move between dream and collective memory. Her previous work addressed violence against women directly. This project continues that investigation — rooted in history, in one city, in names that were never footnotes.
