This series captured in 2018 explores decayed locations that were found in rural and urban parts of Italy. An unknown and forgotten beauty was hidden in these locations that have been left for significant amounts of time. The rooms in this series follow a narrative showing places once filled with life and energy, now deprived of the absence of people. While a few of the rooms still seem joyful, some appear eerie, evoking a sense of loss. The architecture and bursts of colour within these places lead them to feel lively despite their emptiness.
