“Languishing,” a project born during the Covid-19 pandemic, reveals itself as an inner journey, an invocation to strip off the shackles of uncertainties and plunge into the deepest meanderings of existence. The technique of double exposure acts as a powerful tool, weaving a narrative between the ethereal soul, symbolized by the reassuring Blue, the color of calmness and tranquility, and the body that carries the weight of time and its challenges. In this evocative visual dialogue, multiple emotional nuances blend into a single shot, offering a privileged glimpse into the very essence of the human being. It is an opportunity for rebirth, an invitation to release the emotions dormant deep within, ready to awaken and reclaim their space in the echo of time. It is time to overcome the barriers of the soul, to embrace change with courage, and to surrender to one’s deepest authenticity. This project aims to convey the life force that resides within us, to rediscover the most authentic essence of the self, relying on the courage of the mature self, projected into a future of hope, already immersed in the normalcy that preceded the pandemic.
