Places I went on holiday with my friends: Puglia, Pantelleria, Panarea, Koufonissi. Taxídi is the Greek word for ‘trip’; it represents my personal journey through women’s bodies and expression. It was born in 2018 when on holiday with some friends in Puglia, in the south of Italy. I wasn’t previously aware of the energy a group of female friends could generate – the spontaneousness of nudity, the joy of sharing our own beauty. It felt like an epiphany. Since then, I’ve investigated that same lightness and strength in every woman I portrayed. Every summer I get the chance to capture those same bodies changing and interacting with new perspectives and new points of view. Despite the passing of time, I like to keep these pictures together – like a never ending diary, charged with bodies and pieces of summer.
