Layer upon layering the world is made up...
people's personalities are stratified on them, but the body does so too, stratifying starting from what is most fragile and vital, composing itself like an onion layer upon layer up to the skin...
so also plants, the vegetal world, the whole of nature and the world itself are stratified from the skin to the innermost core.
Starting from here the reflection moves on time and evolution, intertwined and stratified, one on top of the other. evolving means adding error after error, victory after victory, defeats and pain, one on top of the other to compose the final work of one's life.
the Cyanotype technique directs the passage of time with its own rhythms, helping to find its own to stratify paper on paper, wetting it and re-wetting it, polluting it, dirtying it, living the paper as one lives an experience, and experience after experience composing the life of this work.

Imagine being Narcissus, while you look at yourself in that body of water and fall, you are reunited with the self you were observing, but only by falling, there is no other way. Have you ever thought about it: being in the water is like being in another world, with other laws, and another ability to survive, so technically it's like not really being here. and if water is made of many drops, of many molecules that dance together, then it is conceivable that they can behave like the skin of an onion, enveloping everything within themselves and creating layers, layers that envelop or layers in which you look, like a small whirlpool that attracts everything. and in this gash in the paper as in the water the spectacle of life is staged, life under the surface, under sociality and masks, life as it is felt only inside the water, when everything is muffled and full of solitude. ourselves.
to work with a cyanotype you need paper which is nature and therefore earth, you need ferrous salts, therefore mineral, you need sun to expose, you need water to emulsify, fix and color, you need air to oxidise and so the elements favor the process of creation as they favor the life.
