Artwork description:

"Shapes of Water" is my new photographic series for 2026, previewed at the end of 2025 through the presentation of three works.
Rooted in a minimalist and abstract approach to landscape, this series reduces form to its emotional essence, transforming water into a space of suspension and quiet introspection.
A subtle duality runs through the project: the darker images emerge from emotional unrest, while the lighter works, despite their apparent serenity, conceal a deeper desire for disappearance. Light and darkness coexist as different states of the same inner landscape.

In SHAPES OF WATER #24, I captured the Gulf of Follonica at winter dawn, where a single luminous wave stretches across the entire horizontal frame like a fragile exhale frozen in time, its blurred contours commanding every inch of the composition with unyielding serenity.

I framed it this way deliberately—foreground swell rising in creamy whites and golds, bleeding into mid-tones of diffused azure and slate, then dissolving higher into a wavering, silken sea—creating layered bands that pull me endlessly inward, as if the sea itself were breathing my own quiet longing.

Through long exposure, I stripped the scene bare, flattening perspective until only these essential striations remain, each one a pulse of emotion etched into the water's skin, holding me captive between the urge to hold on and the ache to let go.
