The picture was taken while I was stopped in an empty parking area. I was impressed by the connection that had suddenly created between the cloud and the tree: one natural element invited the other to follow it through an artificial striped path.
I didn't have the camera with me, so I had to shoot with my smartphone.

Graduated in architecture, but with an eclectic nature and great passion for the arts which allowed me to train and work also as a graphic designer, light designer, dancer and choreographer.
The space-time decontextualization and abstraction, the search for rhythm in the subjects represented are the fulcrum of my photographic work, which derives from a dynamic approach to space, in which reorganization and reinterpretation processes come into play.
