I've put together a few photographs from a much larger project, in which I want to represent different human emotions through photographs taken during live flamenco performances: the universal language of emotions is represented through flamenco dance in a double step between light and emotion. Dance is an instrument of expression that can channel and liberate emotions, capable of expressing them unfiltered and transmitting them even to those unfamiliar with dance. An artistic approach that, through dance and photography, aims not only to capture emotions, but also to convey them, and to sensitize viewers to recognize their own emotions, to accept them, to give them space, to experience them without barriers. Flamenco is a dance with an ancient history, born in a folk community and characterized by intensity and passion, often expressed through improvisation and spontaneity. It's a dance that lends itself to a sincere and vulnerable interpretation of emotions, in a universal language that everyone can relate to.
