l'oscurità, ma io ho una luce is an autobiographical work that deals with my illness and the discovery of inner strength and light. 

I looked at myself in a mirror, and couldn’t accept the emaciated image as my own. this time, I felt a stranger to myself.

I took on this project during the most acute period of my illness. I was 55 days in hospital. I’d lost 16 kilos in two months.

I was skeletal, too weak to lift my head from the pillow. my skin had weakened. my digestive system was fucked.

At 42 I looked like an old lady.

I felt impotent, I wanted to die. I needed to find strength to live.

I began writing feelings and thoughts in English and Italian on pieces of paper ... and taking pictures with my camera and mobile, to distract myself from pain and to find comfort that then, I put together.

I decided to create a journal of my life in hospital, to trust that everything would be ok again.

I hope that sharing my experiences might help others that are struggling.

Sometimes, everything doesn't always go our way, but the important thing is to never give up.

At the end of the tunnel of darkness there is light.

There is a light, look for it!

It has always been there with you ...

Always.

You are Light.

Shine as bright as you can ...
