Description from the seller
Who Am I is a photographic project that explores the theme of identity as a fragile and mutable construction. The portrait becomes a space of inquiry rather than definition, a place where the image does not offer answers but raises questions.
The subjects are photographed in a suspended dimension, deprived of narrative and temporal references. The gaze, the body, and the posture become essential elements of a visual language reduced to its essence. The light accompanies the figure without fully describing it, leaving shadowed areas that suggest what remains invisible.
Identity emerges as a process, not as a result. Each image is a tension between what is shown and what is withheld, between presence and absence, between recognition and distance.
Who Am I does not aim to represent the individual, but their possibility of transformation. A project that invites the viewer to see themselves in the image, recognizing in the other a universal question.

About the artist:
I am Erminando Aliaj, an artist and photographer based in Brescia. My passion for photography has grown over the years to become the heart of my artistic and professional journey. Through my work, I explore themes such as identity, diversity, and human connections, aiming to tell stories that go beyond the visible, to evoke emotions and reflections.
My photographic research has led me to travel to South America, Southeast Asia, and many other parts of the world, documenting places and people with the aim of creating a universal dialogue through images. I enjoy working with settings that go beyond the urban context, preferring symbolic scenarios that highlight the relationship between body, space, and narration.
I have exhibited my work in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Italy and abroad. My photographs have been published in magazines such as Vanity Fair, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Elle Spain, Corriere della Sera, Repubblica, and others.
I have portrayed numerous famous artists including Stefano Bollani, Marie Agnes Gillot, Fatima Robinson, Irene Grandi, Bob Sinclar, Ermal Meta, Colapesce, and many others.
