dust

Dust marks the beginning of this new period of research. It is no coincidence the work was conceived at the same time that the artist experienced the birth of her child. The symbol of the cross appears as a trace in the dust, inducing us to reflect deeply on life and death as well as suffering as a moment of catharsis and regeneration. The photographic sequence informs our understanding, from darkness to light, in a circular process.
text by Elena Re

Photography, my photography, is reality – like the recording of an invisible story, of a private tale, a secret map of feelings. It is the metaphor of a journey, the dawn of a new perception and a transformation of vision. Ultimately, it is a confession. It may well be true that change occurs when we start to be what we are, not when we try to be what we are not.
That is the way it has been for me. Now I know.
