When I began working on this project, I didn’t realise that photographing my home was, in many ways, to become closer to my family, while also confronting the loneliness I often felt in their presence. Throughout my childhood and teenage years, I frequently felt voiceless, with little space to exist as my own person. Over time, I lost touch with my sense of identity, becoming someone shaped by the directions of others. Through images, I document the people, space, and landscape of my home in Italy, emphasising the longing and the ties that connect us.
