This concept is inspired by Plato's "Allegory of the Cave." Shadows distort reality, yet they remain the only truth known to those who cannot step into the sunlight. But is it useful to know the truth when everyone accepts a distorted projection?

Bio
I started photography at a very young age, around 8 years old, using a film camera my mother gave me. This passion was set aside for a while, only to be reignited about 15 years ago. I initially began photographing during my travels, but I soon felt the need to go further. I enjoy capturing people and their behavior, with a strong interest in the cultural aspects of daily life. However, I also explore different approaches, leaning towards more conceptual photography. Currently, I am a student at the Perbellini Academy, an online photography school..
