Behind the Shot: Petrichor

"In a world that watches, analyzes, measures, and controls everything, I am fascinated by what still escapes all forms of control.

Among these untamed territories where our instinctive desire for freedom remains unconstrained: the unconscious , a vast continent of ambiguities and vertigo, whispering its truths in the language of symbols and dreams.

I wanted to explore this inner space where reason gives way, where the instinctive, the impulsive, the chaotic reclaim their place. These are territories where words falter and images take over. A visual wandering made up of fragments of memory, blurred intuitions, silent revolts , attempts not to grasp a fixed truth, but to capture a vibration, a breath, a fragile light at the heart of our most secret parts.

This project is an invitation to feel what within us longs to break free: from imposed limits, from imprisoning gazes, from the frameworks that confine us. Through these sensitive projections, it is perception itself that trembles: what we believe we desire, what we repress, what draws us inward without our knowing.

And what if this were the ultimate freedom? A space where nothing is decided, where nothing is controlled. An indomitable place where we stop appearing and simply exist: confused, incoherent, alive."
