NUM VAZIO, Mary Capo
02 – 10.12 23

Music: Meditando / Fado Lopes - Francisco Lopes


“NUM VAZIO” is a collection that reflects on moments of lossand deep pain in my life.Where I felt like the world was collapsing around me, leaving me in an emotional and spiritual emptiness. After losing two significant figures in my life, my father three years ago and my grandmother more recently. I was forced to deal with something I have never dealt so closely before, grieving. Grievingis a journey marked by a rollercoaster of feelings that flow withouta predictable pattern.When you lose someone close to you, it‘s asif a piece of your world is forever changed. It‘s a wound that never actually heals.Within time this wound will become a scar, and this scar will transform into a constant reminder of the love and connec- tion that once filled your life. No simple words can capture the void they have left behind. As this journey is not linear, you pass through a chaotic mix of mourning, anger, regret, and acceptance. It carries the weight of all the unspoken words and questions.All the unsha- red moments and unfinished conversations.There were periods when I felt totally disconnected from theworld as if I was floating through a deep abyss.The world con- tinues its rhythm and I’m there just trapped in a limbo. Somehow photography became my refuge, offering me some kind of peace. Through this lens, I found a way to concentrate on the present moment and capture the beauty and wonder that surrounded me. Creating each shoot, composing them in my mind,and constructing emotions and stories behind each click.„ It was as if I had the power to infuse the film with my memories, in a way that words alone could never do the same.“
