Statement:

This work belongs to the still life photographic project entitled Delicacyus.
The word Delicacyous is born as an ambiguous flavor: the attraction of desire and its shadow. It is what seduces and restrains, invites and at the same time consumes. A delicacy is never innocent: it is caress and voracity, promise and excess. Each indulgence carries with it the subtle risk of crossing the line. In the images, the food offers itself to the gaze with all its appetizability, but something cracks. A quiet unease insinuates itself among the surfaces, like a omen. The fish returns, an ancient and ambiguous figure: a sacred symbol, but also an external, almost alien presence, distant from any earthly familiarity. Delicacyous is a submerged call, a signal that surfaces just beneath the surface of desire. What attracts is never devoid of consequences: it is consumed, and in doing so, slowly, it transforms us.
