2020 is the year of the global storm. The year of a generation torn apart, of confusion, fear, emotional disorder.
Love letters to humanity are a tribute, poems in images dedicated to that generation that has been hit more than all the others by this very serious worldwide catastrophe. They are a story of a generation, its way of being, its knowledge, its habits, its rituals, its rhythms, its time, its feeling.
They are the sunset prayers of a shepherd, they are the snowy and foggy peaks of my land in winter. Names and people and stories that are affected, they are feelings, they are emotions.
