"My nonna used to tell me to go adagio, slowly, with no rush. Over time, it became my philosophy. While wandering in the physical and mental spaces of my past and present home, I use my camera as a tool of making peace with how things are and how they used to be. It is the simple pleasure of just looking that draws me to contemplate on my surroundings, shaped by a familiar light. Thus, the mundane evokes bittersweet feelings that help me find new meanings. This therapeutic process of being in the moment allows me to accept and embrace reality and relationships as they are, with no need to try and fix them."
