ABSTRACT:

Oggi mi sento sparire

Perché non so dentro più quello che ho

É come se vivessi nei mesi passati

Perché adesso non ho nulla che racconterò

[…]

Spengo e rimane il silenzio

E mi trascino in camera come una barca

Quando il mare è mosso, ma vuole un rifugio

Canticchiando nina nina ninina

The words of Niccolò Moriconi, roman singer known as Ultimo, are part of the song "Solo", from which I took the title. This is an independent self-portrait taken in my parents bedroom in the spring of 2021, a complex period for the whole world in which we returned to being confined in our homes.

A surreal sun light returns a state of suspension that we have felt during the pandemic. That period was one of the worst in my life and every day I felt like I was disappearing.
