Son’s Summer is a meditation on impermanence. Through long exposure, I do not capture my son, but the trace he leaves as summer slips away. Light, grass and air become layers of memory, layers that deposit, sediment and transform the real. Each image is built through accumulation and subtraction, letting a suspended, almost painterly dimension emerge. This work is rooted in a personal geography: the blinding summers of my Sicilian childhood, which I now relive through the imagination and enchantment of my son. He burns with magic and youth, devouring the long, fleeting summer days with the same ardour as the sun that sets everything on fire: nature and his heart. And mine. Long exposure becomes a tool to cross the visible, to access what escapes the immediate gaze, register it and return a form of unstable presence.
