Humanæ is born of my personal experience. I have always felt that my skin, like my personality or my cultural identity , are the result of a family and social mix full of nuances beyond the usual codes and conventions. Why racial classifications remain, why the usual reductions to a handful of categories, or blood ratios with relative exclusive weights… ? Our perception and individual or group identities may still be challenged and rethought, because we really are a rich crucible of infinite individual tones .

Humanæ is a pursuit for highlighting our true colors, rather than the untrue Red and Yellow, Black and White. It is a kind of game for subverting our codes. The ultimate goal is to provoke and bring a public discussion, currently using internet as platform, on ethnic identity, creating images that lead us to match ourselves independently from factors such as nationality, origin, economic status, age or aesthetic standards.

I understand photography as a dialogue from personal to global; like a game in which the personal and social codes are put at stake to be reinvented, a continuous flow between the photographer and the photographed, a bridge between masks and identities. For this reason, I raises my work as a tool of exploration, questioning and searching for identity, for eachown and others. Humanæ is a set of color codes that shows objectively what we are in depth: human.
