The project offers a journey of visual discovery: fragments of fine-art nude photographs become relics, ancient stratifications evoking fossils and sediments. The human body is transformed into matter, recording time, memory, and metamorphosis.

The photos used for the collages were cut, recomposed, then “rediscovered” by exploring the material that forms the background. Cuts, superimpositions, and imperfections bear witness to a slow, manual creative process that is an integral part of the artwork.

The theme of sedimentation can be read in two directions, setting up a dialogue between present and past. On one hand, the illusion of representation, with fossil-like layers that turn out to be deceptive. On the other, old materials—photographs accumulated throughout my artistic journey—are transformed into artifacts, disrupting their original meaning and context.

Finally, there is the time of creation: itself rediscovered, like a relic of a bygone era, within an instantaneous, impetuous, daring present.
