TITLE: SHORELINE - projections of a state of mood

These photographs were taken on the Jesolo shoreline in Italy, on a splendid march afternoon, a crowded shoreline in summer and deserted in winter, where I try to give an expressive line, a language to interpret the environment and the actions of the people immersed in the fog, is also an invitation to explore mystery and solitude understood as a means of growth, in a silence that purifies tensions and makes us happy to come together.

And the sea with its infinite beauty is beyond time, where with its ancient voice it speaks to us even in winter and fills the air with tranquility.

An isolated space, thanks to the presence of fog that erases urban signs, a place for strong spirits and for dreamers who love silence and distances.
