This project reflects on the search for one’s identity.
Taking time to listen to oneself, eliminating mental barriers until reaching inner freedom, like in fairy tales.
Once upon a time, there was “Fear”, which prevents us from being and feeling free, shielding us in both body and mind. Our thoughts try to protect us, seeking a safe place, and while waiting to understand which path to take, we take refuge inside a bubble.
Outside of it, there is only a confused world, made of images, judgment, and prejudice.
Then, on a very cold January morning, the layer of ice, made up of rules and conformity, is broken, revealing a special key that passes through us, both outside and within. It allows us to walk barefoot towards freedom.
