Quattro is a long-term photographic diary dedicated to my brother Giorgio, who is autistic. Through everyday gestures, details, and repeated rituals, the project portrays home as a space of intimacy, relationship, and refuge.
Quattro is a long-term photographic project documenting the everyday life of my brother Giorgio, who is autistic. It is not a linear story but a visual diary composed of gestures, routines, and minimal details that gradually acquire symbolic value. Hands, bodies, and domestic spaces become tools to explore identity, proximity, and non-conventional forms of communication.
The project unfolds entirely within the home, which becomes not just a backdrop but an active subject: a place of repetition, refuge, and emotional resonance. Authenticity emerges from a familial relationship that does not seek distance or neutrality, but is built on closeness and shared time.
In Quattro, photography is not objective documentation but a relational tool: it makes visible what often remains unseen, builds memory, and affirms the existence of an identity beyond stereotypes. The work weaves intimacy and resilience, offering a broader reflection on how bonds, gestures, and care in everyday life can transform into universal narratives.
