WHERE THE SKY MEETS THE EARTH

«Where the sky meets the Earth» is a series aimed to reflect on how individual visions can convey different meanings to a collective audience.
Landscape photography has never been this author’s preferred style of shooting. Lately, he found a way to implement natural elements in his daily research. The time spent living in a nation-wide lockdown has risen to a deep and personal understanding of the world.
Living during a global pandemic, and experiencing instability for a prolonged period, can also be seen as an occasion to give a more individual shape to our gaze. Every little world endured a modification, shifting from what was far away, to what we could touch with our own hands. Human beings and their lives suffered a forced stop, and this is where a new beginning arose.
«Where the sky meets the Earth» is seen by the author as a possibility to regain our relationships with what is here and now, with nature, our history and connections. A landscape is nothing but a personal experience of aesthetics mixed with a good dose of wonderment.
