Insana: Photographs in the Underbrush. (Do you remember when we were alive?)
“Insana” is a film photography project that delves into the complexity of nature as a reflection of human interiority. The choice of an analog medium imbues the images with an ethereal quality, enhancing their emotional impact through texture and depth. The photographs depict trees enveloped by ivy, roots, moss, and epiphytic plants, natural elements that metaphorically represent the intricate emotions and thoughts that pervade the human psyche. Through this powerful visual metaphor, “Insana” narrates the various stages of life from birth and growth to death revealing the cyclical and complex nature of our existence.
In each shot, nature transcends its role as a backdrop to become a protagonist, telling stories of deep connections and interdependencies that mirror what binds us emotionally and mentally. The use of black and white accentuates contrasts, turning each image into a visual introspection that reflects our most profound emotions. “Insana” invites the viewer to explore the complexity of their inner self.
This photographic narrative is an experience of connection, designed for those capable of grasping the intricate ties between the beauty concealed in nature and the human soul’s reflections.
