1. “ WATER PERCEPTIONS”
-(2018)-
-“The imagesof the work , allow the observer of this “very particular”
documentation to go forward in a separate world ” populated bywaterelves”.
- “I don’t likevery much describing andexplainingmyPhotographywork because
I think the imagesare muchmore significant than manywords”.
- What I “can say” aboutthis uniqueproject , is “it wasborn”, likemanyothers,
from my own-privateneed to investigatesuch an amazingand complex reality,
whichno one had never portrayed and published in Italy, concerning a very
particularsocial sphere; having the opportunityto develop myresearch in a very
special and sensitivecontext:
Try to “immersemyself in the autism, in the perception of those who is themselves
in this condition almostcathartic even if “from an outsidefirst looks mayappear
very unhappy”....
-Through a personal , deep, analytical selfanalysis, meditation andconcentration
, in “myclimax”,forgetting myself, I felt reallyclose to “ those kidsreality
perceptions
-The swimming-pool like a “magic lake”, the water“as a mystic amniotic fluid”,
in where “The little sick Elf”, perceives, once again, ancestral and beneficial
sensations, finds relief, calm, pleasure; his right biological rhythm of mind, away
from the suffering of the outside world... .
*Forautistic children this waterexperimental therapy, it “becomes”also an
essential element, a chance to feel , to play and growth with “the other healthy
children”, for an open contactbetweenwhat is consideredby society,“normal”
and “different”.
°Above all I was interested in finding the children ‘s expressiveness,so pure and
spontaneous, no longer absentbut now active and alive: expressive of a
multitude of different moods.

5. -Expression that , in the autistic children it becomes, from one side, a bit
clumsy but, from the 'other, reveals a wonderful sense of sublimation, of
a perception of a "world" that we can not feel, realize and understand
but only just to examine:
I wanted to open a door to this children’s world that I consider an
outstanding human beauty.
