Anonymia

The series "Anonymia" emerges as a critical and poetic investigation into female identity, social masks, and the construction of memory. Through portraits of 19th-century women with their faces elegantly concealed, it does not merely evoke a vintage aesthetic but raises questions related to representation, visibility, and oblivion. The female figures, devoid of physiognomy, become symbols of a codified elegance, but also of an erased, hidden or denied identity.

The techniques that simulate aged photographs, with signs of deterioration, add another layer of meaning: the images appear as fragments of an elusive past, reminding us how the history of ordinary people is an incomplete narrative, with gaps and silences. Only the classic, dignified posture remains a symbol of resistance, the last glimmer of humanity in a context of depersonalization.

The work thus invites us to reflect on the fragility of memory, the construction of identity and the power dynamics that govern representation. In an age of hypervisibility, it prompts us to consider the value of invisibility and the tension between the desire to be seen and the temptation to hide in order to find oneself.

“Anonymia” wants to ask the viewer: What is visible? What is hidden? What is forgotten?
