Most of the young Moroccans of my series are unemployed and walk the streets of their small town with often nothing to do. Some of them are isolated from their traditional ways of life. Among them, the most lonely, distressed, and without the love of a family, engage in the ritual of self harm. And only when you look closely the cuts become evident; they become like a badge, a badge for us to see.
Born in Rome, Italy. Studied in the U.S.A. and lives in Australia. A graduate in Photography from The University of Texas at Austin. I am committed to photographing the less empowered as dignified individuals and beautiful human beings. I try to emphasize the subjects' personal reality.
