COGITO
When Emotion Takes Over
There are moments when an emotional state takes precedence over the human condition.
Cogito explores those moments when what happens within the individual becomes more powerful than their outward presence. Thoughts, tensions, unease, and silences alter the relationship with the body, transforming the figure into a manifestation of an inner condition.
The figures do not represent any specific emotional state. Rather, they inhabit a condition in which inner life takes shape through gestures, postures, gazes, and alterations in the image’s materiality. What normally remains invisible thus becomes part of their presence.
Photography does not seek to describe what the individual feels, but to make visible the moment when an inner dimension takes precedence over their human condition. The body remains present, yet its form seems to be permeated and altered by what unfolds within.
In Cogito, Existence manifests itself through the tension between the individual’s presence and that which, from within, alters its form.
