"Ethereal Bride" belongs to a photographic series in which the self-portrait is used as a tool of introspective and existential analysis. The aim is to investigate the theme of a multifaceted identity depending on childhood memories.
Going through old boxes, I came across many clothes characteristic of my childhood, such as the artistic gymnastics leotard, the First Communion dress and the Spanish “sevillana” dress). From the first moment I felt a very strong sense of nostalgia. Afterwards, conflicting emotions arose and led me to question my adult identity, because I could no longer perceive the trace of these clothes and what they entailed within my personality and even the memories I felt very far from me and evanescent, as if they belonged to another person.
Through a kind of performance, I decided to wear again these clothes to recreate the emotional and fairy-tale imaginary and at the same time to recall memories and emotions of my childhood. In this image, for example, I wear the dress of my First Communion, reinterpreted with other accessories to resemble an immaterial and heavenly bride, because that was exactly the way I felt the first time I wore it as a child.
