The workshop of flower repairs
This is a story of rebirth. A story of recovery from the searing pain of war.
The author reveals theater as a space of transformation. A series of photographs explores the interaction between art and reality, where the stage becomes a crossroads of pain, hope, and renewal.
The project is structured in three acts, drawing an analogy with The Divine Comedy. The first part reflects the symbols of war that have become our everyday reality. The comparison to Hell is a conscious artistic device that allows for a deeper immersion into the philosophical issues raised by Dante. Purgatory presents theater as a space for an inner struggle for hope and restoration. The camera creates new visual realities with actors and stage settings, visualizing the processes of human spirit transformation. Paradise is the final point, where emotional and spiritual elevation reaches its peak. Light in the frames is not merely a physical characteristic of the stage but a symbol of inner enlightenment achieved through art.
Each photograph is a testament to how, in times of war, art not only reflects events but also helps to endure and comprehend them. The stage becomes a space for dialogue, where new meanings emerge.
Despite air raid sirens and interrupted performances, theater continues to inspire. It is not merely a witness to reality but its co-creator. Art born in times of crisis becomes a driving force of change, paving the way for a new stage of cultural renaissance.
