Conceptual and architectural image, noli timere is my last production of the year 2021. Entitled “do not be afraid” in Latin, it finds its inspiration in the image of the narrow door taken from the Gospel according to Saint Matthew. The transition from darkness to light is a recurring theme in my work and I wanted this image to emphasize the feeling that darkness can give us. The voluntary game of symmetry, almost psychedelic mirror effect, invites us to dare to feel this space.

My vision is based on a certain aesthetical and philosophical sensibility for black and white. I've started my journey as a photographer a few years ago for the pleasure of composing a picture, looking for symetry, finding a visual balance. Since then, I've been trying different angles, always with my typical dark and enigmatic photography style.
