SPECTRA AND LIGHTS

  • Photographer
    PIETRO SORANO, Italy

In the first image the musician / artist sits on a bench in
contemplation of the seascape. Its sensitivity accentuates soul
shadows and highlights and continuous, exhausting search for a
balance between these, forces him into a corner of peace where he
can turn away from everything and everyone to realize his
personal vision of the world through the art of music. Highlights
on the left indicate the way out and escape from the shadows that
haunt him and surround him.
In the second picture the musician / artist back in possession of
the instrument, gets up from the bench and began to tell the
world his emotions through notes. Ghosts are transformed into
lights and he understands that his art / passion is the means that
will allow him to relate to the world and to the other without fear.
The Artist has identified the way to achieve balance and self-
awareness.
The third picture, at the end of the triptych, depicts the personal
vision of the musician / artist. Around him, in fact, they dominate
ghosts and shadows. But from his soul, through his breath and
notes, emerges a new world, distorted, and flipped on the
instrument. This is the light that over time will erase the ghosts
and involve the entire frame… so his life and his social relations.
