Descrizione: Since 2013, after I fell ill with a still undiagnosed neurological disorder similar to Parkinson’s and was unable to write (I was a writer first and
foremost), I took to photography as a way to cope with every day. It soon became my diary to the world/
After seven years, I decided to turn the lens onto other women and their relationship with their body, which may or may not arise out of illness. Our relationship with our bodies, an changing body, is a very complex one.
All the participants of this project are volunteers who wanted to explore some aspect of their past or present through the lens and therefore chose to participate . Some to get over trauma, disorders, fears.
The series is is a way giving women the agency and choice of how to be seen, exploring vulnerability, the elegance of what remains hidden, the female form in all its shapes and sizes, censorship; of gender as an interface of ways of seeing, a tribute to the many forgotten female artists in history. It is, in a way, about falling in love with oneself again, or perhaps returning back to the self.
As of writing this, the series has been select selected for 13 group exhibits and it’s for solo in Miami in December 2026
The series is also going to be accompanied by a book of essays by the same name, on these themes, published by Harper Collins India (2027/28).
