I had the pleasure to be part of Voice x PhotoVogue residency and do my first NFT collection! 🧡
For my Voice x PhotoVogue residency, I wanted to photograph my parents and work with my hands to add a further layer to the images.
I took the photos in my childhood home’s backyard, where my parents were doing renovation to our old house. During their breaks from the work, I asked them to sit down for the photos.
During winter, I collected old pearls from recycling center for jewerly making. I gathered them one by one from a huge bucket of beads choosing the ones with unique features.
When I started the project, I remembered the pearls and wanted to give them a central role next to my parents. I made round shaped clusters with the pearls and photographed them in front of my parents eyes.
Encouraged by NFT platforms, I was inspired to try adding new elements to the images; I continued placing more pearls to the portraits in the post-processing to give an impression of compressed chaos. They were like clusters of information overload that social media constantly feeds us.
Thank you again for the residency @voicehq@photovogue@alessiaglaviano@madebyfish ✨🧡
