DESIDERA
The term desire comes from the combination of the privative particle de with the Latin word sidus, sideris (plural sidera), meaning “star.” Thus desidera, from which desire is derived, would literally mean “the condition in which the stars are absent.”
Perhaps the photographs recount humanity’s fate: the search, throughout life, for that first feeling of union with the whole that was lost upon entering the world.
Yet, while shooting, I perceived a double meaning: within that condemnation I glimpsed the most precious gift, the one that compels us to strive toward the light.
