Ghosts of Vernazza
"Past and Present" is a multilayered visual narrative exploring the coexistence of memory and reality. Constructed using prints on layered transparencies, the work blends the lines between time periods. In the scene, modern-day swimmers and sunbathers intermingle with figures from the past—echoes suspended in place as if they never left. The architectural backdrop, worn and enduring, becomes a silent witness to time’s passage. This juxtaposition evokes the idea that those who came before us still inhabit the same spaces, their presence lingering like shadows in water. “Past and Present” invites viewers to reflect on the continuous layering of human experience—how the past is never truly gone, but always quietly present.
"Ghosts of Vernazza" is a layered meditation on memory, absence, and the haunting beauty of place. Created with prints on layered transparencies, the work conjures an atmosphere where the present blurs with the echoes of lives once lived. Translucent figures drift across the scene—ghostly presences inhabiting the weathered seaside of Vernazza, suspended between then and now. The composition evokes a sense of timelessness, as if the town itself remembers. These apparitions do not frighten—they watch, they linger, they remind. “Ghosts of Vernazza” is not just about what’s gone, but about what still remains: the impressions of joy, movement, and humanity etched into the walls, the water, and the light.
