Abisso
Dito Publishing, Rome — 2020
"Abisso is a place of which you can not know the margin, where the light does not penetrate because filtered, or perhaps deliberately rejected. It is a place where you lose the sense of space and time, where the consciousness wavers trying to extricate itself in a dense and dense substance, yields... but does not fall. The feeling of sinking into the depths of the sea, perhaps the illusion of wanting to reach a core of awareness, is a path studded with difficulties that creates layers in consciousness, and this is where the reversal arrives: we perceive the possibility of escaping from it. This abyss is shining, dyed, comes alive and shines at my unusual passage. It reveals itself, and I reveal myself to it.
The coastal coast of Salento is the protagonist of a dark night journey within an imaginary perimeter that undergoes a surreal metamorphosis. It is the place that divides the sea from the mainland and hides its own universe of planets and stars."
