Behind the Shot: Suspension

Suspension evokes a state of in-between.
The image suggests a moment in which travel is not narrated but felt, like a fragile presence suspended between movement and stillness.
This photograph is part of the series Lumières intimes italiennes (2023–2025), created in Italy, particularly on the island of Ischia.
The series explores how light, sea, and landscape shape an inner perception of travel.
Almost monochromatic and tinged with green, the images move between reality, imagination, and memory.
They convey less a place than a sensitive way of inhabiting it.
