Cadorna 'In n Out' is an innovative project that seamlessly merges exterior and interior imagery of the station's front.
It artfully captures both the external facade and the interior, specifically focusing on the station's ceiling.
This intriguing juxtaposition captures two distinct spatial dimensions that would typically remain unseen together.
Through the art of photography, this project unlocks the unique ability to simultaneously observe both the external and internal facets of our world, providing viewers with a comprehensive and harmonious perspective.

Still life is the depiction of inanimate objects, either natural or man-made in a composition. Emerging from the darkness with a source of light as was done in the Baroque, each object acquires meaning and substance in combination with the other objects. With the use of the mirror a conflict is created between what the viewer does not see and must look at what is reflected and what is depicted. One question is how color affects still life. What is the difference between black and white composition and color composition? And if by coloring the fruit you cancel its function? Is fruit considered an inanimate object the moment it enters a composition, or does its function cease when it is painted? After all, color enlivens the still life or cancels the physical functions of the objects?

Taking a walk in the Bicocca neighborhood of Milan, I noticed the uniformity of the buildings since most of them were designed by the same architect.
The feeling they gave me when I saw them was something suffocating, to see them like that, close to each other like paper towers. I photographed the buildings and then cut them out of the pieces by placing them next to each other and then wrapping them like a bagpipe. I tried to convey the suffocation I felt.
Opening the accordion, the buildings breathe and stand, closing and gathering it, you can hear it again, the suffocation of the city.

During my trip to Venice i tried to capture the things that impressed me the most, the gondolas, the architecture of the buildings and the canals that run through the city with the technique of watercolor and marker.

The idea of my thesis emerged while wandering around the city of Ioannina. From the first moment I arrived, I was impressed by the traditional architecture with the stone-built houses and tiled roofs. I tried to convey this wandering and impression. As Rodchenko said, the best way to render an object and give it its full meaning is to go around it. So, I did. Going around the buildings photographing from the bottom up to show how small we are in front of this tradition and the great value I give them, I photographed them from the side, 45 degrees, the center, 45 degrees and from the side again. I stopped at whichever house impressed me the most. I recorded this entire route on the mobile phone maps. For every one of my positions, for every movement of my body, under every photo of a building I wrote the date, the time, and the coordinates. If everyone thinks they are the coordinates of the building, in reality it’s me who moves around the building. I become the pin on paper. In the end, on the map of the city, I joined the red shapes formed by my route. How different would it be if i had chosen other buildings? After these buildings that impressed me a lot, I paved them with the engraving technique, as I wanted to give a personal touch, placing them on the wall with the shape of my movement.

Why do men and women rarely play together contact sports like basketball? It is physicality, the difference in muscle mass, height, strength and skill in sport. When a girl faces a boy in basketball she has to make a double effort. On the other hand, boys will never play hard with girls and push themselves hard for fear of hurting them. “They consider us inferior” the girls think. The boys, will on the other hand, answer no. The girls then believe that the boys avoid playing with them for fear of losing and making a bad impression. The truth lies in the middle. Physicality plays a big part and both on the playing field will give their all, struggle, and eventually try to win regardless of gender.
