MY INSTA SKETCH BOOK
A DESIGNER OF A PHOTO JOURNEY
My travels around the world were always. linked to an attempt to frnd
another channel of presenting design in a real life context. Seeking
inspirations from other cultures and connecting them to one’s own is very
common as a designer. A cross-fertilization of concepts, lifestyles, traditions
and behavioral codes takes place and brings us to this new place in our
minds. The space in-between. lt is the sum of all impressions that leads to
the silence of nothingness and therefore becomes every thing.
MY photo journey took me to the manufacturing and street life of different
places in the world which allowed me to recognize the context and respect
with which things are made or exist; the precision that strives for perfection
of form and the humbleness of the uncrowned artists.
As an interior and product designer, the voyage is essential to create new
connections and expand into a universal space that purifies one’s vision and
creativity.
My Insta Sketchbook is a way for me to express myself visually, subtract
the usual story lines from the images and let them stand alone. Pure and
simple in form and space.
