shape of the unknown

“In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order”.

Carl Gustav Jung

Chaos, in its purest essence, is one of the most fascinating and unsettling forces of our existence. In the early Hellenic cosmogonies, chaos was not merely disorder, but a primordial void. It was described as an abyss without beginning or end, where nothing is organized into form, yet everything is already contained, and from which the cosmos itself emerged. It represents a state of infinite possibility, where opposites coexist, and everything struggles to take its own shape, suspended in an ever-changing magma.

Shape of the Unknown develops around this tension between confusion and the emergence of new forms.
This series questions our ability to adapt and resist in a world that never stops evolving, exploring the dialectic between light and darkness, order and disorder, uncertainties and dreams.

In an alternation between the disorientation felt when facing chaos and the fascination with the creative power of a space of infinite possibilities, these images arise from a blend of an instinctive approach, based on blurred effect and an impulsive selection of subjects, and phases where fragments are brought together and order is imposed through photomontage and the juxtaposition of multiple elements.

Each image attempts to convey not only the immediacy of chaos but also its generative power, a dynamic of disorientation that precedes the emergence of new configurations. Light and shadow intertwine, color explodes and dissolves, revealing a reality that crumbles and reassembles incessantly, like the perpetual cycle of creation and destruction that governs the universe.
