Title : TV MARIA
This image is from the series « Salento 10’ »
« Born in Switzerland from Italian immigrant parents, I still live with these two identities. However, this work does not speak directly about me, but it is a tribute to my family living in Castiglione, a small village in southern Italy, more exactly in the Salento area of Puglia.
I started this project two years ago, trying to show the importance of religion with people and in their homes. This project has the desire to show affection with humility that I have with my family, and the commitment to my roots. »
