Finalmente posso andare recounts my coexistence with the death of my grandmother Marisa and my aunt Luciana.
It all happened during the first lockdown (due to Covid19) in Italy in 2020; the virus had nothing to do with their passing but it became the obstacle between me and my family.
I lost them but I couldn’t feel what was happening.
I was locked in my house and two parts of me had just left.
I started looking for a way to express this emptiness for it was the only thing I could do to process what I was living.
My photographic archive was so important during that period: I started looking for signs in the places I’ve been and in the people around me.
I live in a rural place and nature is one of the keys I found to put my emotions in images.
I needed to give them the farewell they deserved.
