Scuro
Film

During a year living in Florence, Italy, the feeling of claustrophobia often overwhelmed me and seemingly affected my subconscious, drawing me to find the dark and barren scenes in the typically bustling city. Though Florence is a small city, I was shocked to find it packed with thousands of tourists and people in its narrow streets. Being from rural New Mexico, a place without many people, dirt roads and pitch black night skies, I ached to find the emptiness in a city renowned for its beauty. Drawn to these dim and lonely scenes, my series of photographs are entitled Scuro, "dark" in Italian.
