"Lost in Time" is a photographic exploration of abandoned spaces across Italy, environments that were once shaped by human activity but are now marked by silence, decay, and the quiet persistence of memory.
By documenting these overlooked landscapes, the project invites viewers to reflect on the fragility of existence and the ways history endures in what we leave behind. Each image serves as a meditation on impermanence, illustrating that history is preserved not only in monuments or archives but also in the absence of those who once inhabited these spaces.
The project emphasises how history is embedded in everyday, forgotten locations, not in grand narratives or monuments, but in the quiet remnants of lived experiences. By focusing on human absence and the passage of time, the work reveals how memory, identity, and culture persist in the physical traces we leave behind. This reflects the idea that we are history, that our actions, structures, and silences collectively shape what remains.
This project is a tribute to my grandfather, grandmother, and aunt, who spent their lives in this small village nestled in a scenic part of Calabria, surrounded by rugged mountains, forests, and natural parks.
