filling the void

Staying closed at home for months due to repeated lockdowns and being able to go out, as a photojournalist, to photograph my completely deserted city (Venice) made me think a lot. The sense of loss (of the people around, of my friends and fellow citizens, the shops closed permanently), the absence of life, I perceived it similar to the sense of pain and absence of all my relatives and relatives who died in recent years . A deep sense of loneliness that I tried to fill by making COLLAGES starting from the photographs of Venice empty due to the covid combined with old family photos
