Ciclo della Poesia
Parfum

​

I have always believed that life can achieve a balance of the soul, one that is difficult, but possible, to find. I tried to capture the fragrance of this balance, like an olfactory architecture of light, silence and nature. I gathered green and light notes, leaves from towering trees; I collected light wood and tobacco leaves, burnt sweet resins and then listened in silence. I read Louis Kahn, admiring the balance in his works. I sought the quiet found in the body of men, like notes of flora at dawn, like wooden houses around the heart. I wanted to be happy and to feel silence, light and space: the threshold of a new world.

​

"The opus was born in a point,
that was between a silent idea 
and the lighting of reality,
a place seen as the threshold, 
the meeting point between silence, 
with its will being and Light, 
creator of all the images.
There is an aim in what I’m doing and
there is the achievement of a silence, 
a Light/Luce.”
