This is a very personal project that seeks to answer, among other questions, what is the role of a self-sustaining economy today? Is it possible to consider a close to nature way of life as an alternative way of life for the future? My photo project is inspired by memories and nostalgia. Nostalgia is a kind of involuntary memory, and in involuntary memory the essence is revealed. In essence consciousness is captured, the ideal. In nostalgic memory, things do not appear as they once were, but rather as we have never experienced before: in their essential form. The aim of my series is to capture this undefined essence and to raise awareness of it in the present. In this way, I am evoking a past that has never happened in its entirely, as I commemorate it now; therefore, this offers the possibility that in the future it will become as I wanted it to be.
