TERRA MADRE is the first series of a collaborative site-specific project set in Sicily with the Sicilian photographer and architectural designer Gabriele Cafici who has been working for many years on the theme of identity, roots, and Heimat Land, (Terra Madre). His work between light and shadow, reality and fiction, tells the poetry of life, the passing of time, the folds of existence and dig into the many layers of who we ultimately are, where do we come from.
The local dimension portraited in a wider anthropological frame evokes emotional states and morphological aspects where the daily life full of habits, costumes, and cultures becomes art through photography.
​
I have started this collaboration with Gabriele to heighten the hidden wonders of our Land, Sicily, a land full of magical landscapes, raw genuineness, generosity, and volcanic love.

Dopo tanto tempo si ritorna
Quando
e'' la Terra Madre
Il tocco
Il Fuoco dell'Etna
Il Focolare
​
Di notte si spegne armonioso
per rinascere intatto
La mattina
come un fiore
​
Tu
​
​
After a long time we return
When the Mother Earth
The Touch
The Fire of Etna
The Hearth
​
That goes out harmoniously
every time as always
To be reborn intact
Every morning
like a flower
​
You
​
​
Nach langer Zeit kommen Sie zurück
Wenn
die Mutter Erde
Die Berührung
Das Feuer des Ätna
Der Herd
​
Nachts geht es harmonisch aus
Unversehrt wiedergeboren werden
Am Morgen
wie eine Blume
Sie
​
