Metamorphosis of the Universe
Metamorphosis of the Universe
My photographs celebrate the wonder that the night hours can offer, creating fascination in the viewer in discovering how much light there is in the darkness. Through my work I explore darkness, always seeking to discover more, going beyond what can be seen, pushing the boundaries of mystery and the dark.
With a sensitive and reflective gaze, my desire is to place man before himself to ask himself questions about his own existence. Focusing on both the intimate and the grand, my goal is to evoke a sense of awe and reflection in viewers. My photographs seek to provide an escape, helping people recapture their dreamscapes and providing a unique and powerful perspective on the everyday. Everything we see that is astral is, in reality, what existed millions or billions of years ago. I wanted to call this project that I have been carrying out for four years "Metamorphosis of the Universe", because the Universe is constantly evolving and changing, what exists today will not exist today.
Author
Carlotta Roda, born in 1999, is a photographer whose work combines aesthetic research and narrative sensitivity. After graduating from high school, she decided to study at the IED in Milan and graduated in photography. With the camera she feels the need to search for meanings beyond the evidence and uses photography to evoke imaginary realities, as an infinite universe of research. Her intent is to place man in front of himself to ask himself questions about his own existence. The creation of astronomical shots and night-time urban scenarios allows this reflection: the viewer sees on one hand the greatness that the Universe shows us and on the other notes the smallness of our daily life in the buildings, our home.
