INTRODUCTION

I am one of those souls of my generation who feels called to share awareness. Together we can transform the dynamics that shape human relationships, so often governed by the conscious or unconscious theft of others' vital energy.

This behavior traps the spirit, both individual and collective.

Through photography, I tell the stories of my encounters with the Spirits of cultures that lived in harmony and awareness in societies free from violence, to bear witness to their wisdom, which can guide all who seek. Many young people today feel lost, yet I believe these images can help them reconnect with their inner guidance, so that together we can evolve in our way of life and leave a better world for those who come after us.

We are trapped in patterns woven deep within our collective unconscious. I had to, like anyone who seeks knowledge, dive into my inner ocean, swim through its hidden corners, and uncover the patterns that repeat themselves in every human life, patterns designed to keep us in a psychic cage. But the cage opens from within.

By opening it we can achieve completeness.

My work, as part of the broader research project Essenza Comune, explores these shared unconscious patterns that connect humanity across culture, territory, and time. My goal is to bring this vision to a global audience, contributing with my research to the spread of a way of thinking that recognizes collective patterns, starting from individual ones, and responsibly transcends them with the goal of creating a better world to leave to our children.
