where i grow

(2014-2025)

A peculiar herbarium collected while exploring the Mediterranean

An ongoing series of environmental nudes united by a recurring theme: the connection of the human body and organic nature, expressed through hair.

Long hair is a symbol of wildness, experience and continuity. It keeps growing regardless of circumstances, like a thread linking past and present. In these photographs, hair transforms into plants, bushes and parts of trees, becoming a metaphor for continuous transformation, inner growth and the inseparable bond between humans and nature.
