“Mimesis” is a visual investigation into the desire for transformation and the ambiguity of identity. Through the medium of photography, the work explores the possibility of adhering to an internal image, overcoming the limits of representation to merge with what is observed. The photographic act becomes a ritual of metamorphosis: the subject dissolves into the drawn landscape, trying not only to resemble it, but to become it. In the dialogue between body and nature, a symbolic game of camouflage and dissimulation emerges, in which identity continually expands and redefines itself. Photography, therefore, is not only a mirror, but a tool of transformation, a means through which to explore the subtle boundary between what one is, what one wishes to be and what one perceives oneself to be.
