Mirror of Rome
A spectacular monochrome photograph captures Via della Conciliazione toward the Vatican through a perfect reflection in a rain puddle. The dome of St. Peter's Basilica majestically mirrors in the water, doubling the grandeur of Renaissance architecture, while the silhouettes of pilgrims and tourists create a dynamic urban frame. The ingenious composition inverts the perspective, transforming a simple puddle into a window to Rome's sky. The image celebrates the beauty of ephemeral moments and photography's ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
The Inverted World
The moment of revelation: a man bends towards a puddle, discovering an entire cathedral and an inverted world. The truth lies hidden at our feet.
Pilgrimage
A solitary traveler approaches St. Peter's Basilica, his reflection perfectly mirrored in rainwater. The low perspective transforms the everyday puddle into a gateway between worlds—reality and reflection, pilgrim and destination, journey and arrival.
