I work with images as a way of staying close to what I feel.

This project was born in Second Life, a virtual space where I found a place to explore solitude, presence, and the fragile border between what is real and what is not.

For me, the virtual is not an escape.
It is another way of being, of observing myself, of remaining with what appears.

I photograph moments, places, and works that move me, and I write from that same attentive and quiet place.

This work is personal.
It is made of pauses, distance, silence, and attention.

If you feel like writing,
you can find me here.
