Story

Water has different faces for people who know the sea. …“ Storms, calm waters, currents appear on every face, and leaping fishes which dream to fly”.

Five images like four cardinal points and a center, five images like the fingers of every hand.

Five images to tell a story begun more than a year ago... it will drive me round the world again.
It is a sea tale… it’s a sea and land tale.

From Naples, Genoa and Lisbon ports where explorers’ boats left to cross the abysses and find the “new world”, to cities like Istanbul, center of the world in the infinity of time.
From the north cities like Hamburg, protected by thick fogs to the burning stones of Greece, with its mythical islands.

Every single image has a name, it is a precise place where I have been. But the title won’t always link with.

There’s a story in every sea and it tell us about the contrast between earth and sea.
Sometimes it’s gentle and delicate, sometimes it’s hard and impossible, sometimes it is a love affair.
