EMOTIONAL BODY

We live every day immersed in emotions that we often cannot even name. Some are as gentle as a breeze, others weigh us down like a wet blanket. Sometimes they are temporary, sometimes they return cyclically, as if they inhabit a hidden place within us. We do not always recognise them, but they shape us nonetheless: they change our breathing, our posture, the way we choose to cover or reveal our body.

For this project I tried to give visual form to four emotions that accompany me and that I feel belong deeply to my inner world: sensitivity, joy, sweetness and anxiety. Every emotion has become an image, an aesthetic construction, a way of making visible something that usually remains hidden under the skin.

The body becomes a place where everything happens: what I feel takes on space, is layered, is coloured, takes on weight or lightness. It is a dialogue between the inside and the outside, between what passes through me and what I choose to show.
