Morocco, Sentimental Atlas is a long-term photographic project shaped by my fascination with colour and by a personal connection to the country.
The photographs emerge from encounters with everyday life, from moments when colour, geometry and the intensity of light unexpectedly come into relation.
The project has a more intimate origin. Morocco is the country of my wife’s childhood, and through her I have come to know a place inhabited by memories that precede my own experience of it. Photographing Morocco has become a way of approaching that distance—not by retracing her past, but by discovering, over time, what this place has come to mean in my own life.
Morocco, Sentimental Atlas unfolds between these two forms of attachment: to a visual language and to a place entered through someone I love. The photographs form an evolving atlas of that relationship, where looking becomes a way of drawing closer and colour a way of giving form to something that cannot be mapped.
