A portrait of me, taken by @roberto.tomelleri ( my travel companion) inside a shack in Ethiopia, where many little girls were singing and chanting christian hymns while a young pope was leading them. I entered and, to their surprise, I just sat among them.

A project that explores the difficulty of Japanese society in expressing itself frankly and truthfully, which has taken me far beyond what I initially thought, and it was pure grace. At first I decided to use butoh dance as a narrative device in order to help me and my subjects expressing what would have been impossible showing otherwise. Then relating to the difficulty to express themselves being marginalized for not conforming to the high standards of Japanese society, I wanted to portray some people without limbs who thanks to fashion, art and sport have been able to find new sources of beauty and meaning.
