Emerging from the Shadows

These three photographs hold the essence of my life. They mark the rhythms of the habits and constraints we are bound to, accustomed to, and addicted to. Bent and crushed by the shadows of production, chasing unreachable goals, we let our time slip away. ‘Rem tu, te esse’ is the motto that imprisons us. Inside, it rains every single day; slowly, we are consumed, and the bars begin to corrode. Then comes a moment when endurance ends, and the metal wires finally snap. From that point on, we emerge from the shadows that weigh us down. Exactly when this happens, no one can say.
Thorns defend the rosebuds, which will bloom when the time is right.
