"Words are not inherently suitable to embrace any even blurred concept of time, and beside all speech being made nowadays around the sense of family, its true nature belongs to the undetectable trace we leave through centuries, and to our link with time itself: nothing else can extend the perception of ephemerality better than fragile pictures of unexperienced memories, while giving emotional recognition to the path we’re drawing in the frame of life. Terra Mater is an ode to this broad sense of relationship, way beyond a mere blood tie: an everflowing exchange of human connections, a lyric metaphor of love as unity of space and mutual understanding, an everyday practice consistently nourished by the lymph and the metric of an arcadian pastoral. Words are not inherently suitable to embrace any even blurred concept of my family, and that's why I chose pictures. For Terra Mater, I closed my eyes behind the viewfinder and put my heart in front of them."
