Biography

What I do

I grew up in Sardinia, where my interest in photography began with my mother’s Minolta and the stories of my uncle, who owned a camera store. I later studied Japanese literature in Florence before moving to Tokyo. My work brings together landscape and street photography, exploring the relationship between people, places and the passage of time.
