TITLE: Everything is going to be allright

“Everything is Going to be Alright” is a photography project that began in 2020 during the first month of the coronavirus pandemic. My family and I had moved to Milan one year prior and were still adjusting to our new lifestyle when everything changed. As the pandemic spread, my city, like many others, went into lockdown. My son and I were among the many who got sick during that time.

Despite the fear and uncertainty that surrounded us, I decided to start a photography project. With my camera, I wanted to portray parenthood in a different way, showing the daily life of my family during the pandemic. I turned the camera inside our home, where everything was happening. Our house became our world, the place where we worked, studied, played, and lived. And in the midst of it all, I captured the simplest and most significant moments of our routine.

The “Everything is Going to be Alright” project is not about finding beauty in the pandemic, but rather about documenting real life, without makeup or filters. It's an attempt to capture the essence of daily life during a period of uncertainty and fear, not knowing what the future held. I didn't know if everything would be okay, but I believe that my photographs depict the hope and resilience that we all need to face difficult times.
