I Was Once Between the Moon and the Sun

I Was Once Between the Moon and the Sun is the first series exploring the transformation of young women undergoing the metamorphosis of adolescence. It focuses on their deep connection with the natural environment that surrounds them. Through a poetic visual narrative, the work delves into the synchronicity between the life cycles of these girls and those of nature.

The series combines black-and-white and colour photography to create an emotional and symbolic language. The colour portraits depict the girls immersed in the natural environment they inhabit, rooted in deep harmony with the earth. At the same time, the monochrome landscapes act as metaphors for their inner worlds. In these subtly surreal scenes, light and shadows, suns and moons merge to evoke the dualities inherent to adolescence. The combination of photographic media, the abstraction of the visual narrative, the timeless quality of the images, and the symbolic dimension that emerges from them, gives the work a poetic imprint. There is a distinctive confluence of magical realism and a dreamlike atmosphere that blurs the boundaries between certainty and mystery. The landscape echoes the emotional world of these young women. An invisible bond intertwines their metamorphosis with that of the natural world they inhabit.
