On December 6th, we presented "Trapa Natans," a photographic book by Igor Ponti, published by Fontana Edizioni. This project spanned two years, during which the photographer dedicated himself to capturing the ever-changing soul of the landscape surrounding Lake Muzzano. The result is an in-depth exploration of the intricate relationship between humans and nature.
Through his camera lens, Ponti managed to create a visual narrative that delves into the complexity of both urban and natural landscapes, highlighting the beauty and fragility of the environment around us. The focus is on the water chestnut, Trapa Natans, a plant that once thrived in the waters of Lake Muzzano but became extinct due to a lack of care and attention from the region.
This serves as a powerful warning: a reminder of the consequences of our indifference towards the environment and an invitation to commit to protecting our natural heritage. His images are visual testimonies of the current state of the territory. The photographer invites us to reflect on our impact on the world around us.
