America, a Journey as a Metaphor

“America, a Journey as a Metaphor” is a photographic meditation on life and democracy under the current Administration. Conceived and produced throughout 2025, this series embodies my ongoing engagement with the urgent realities, paradoxes, and emotional currents shaping the American experience today.

Each image, whether newly taken or the result of intervening with archival photographs, serves as both documentation and transformation. Through visual denouncement, silent confrontation, and meditative reflection, I aim to explore the tension between what America is and what it aspires to be. The journey evoked in the work is not merely geographical, but symbolic and psychological: roads, landscapes, and faces become metaphors for resilience, fragility, conflict, and hope.

By intervening in some older photographs, I challenge memory and reconsider personal and collective histories, re-framing moments in light of today’s social and political climate. The series thus oscillates between the immediate and the remembered, the familiar and the altered, inviting viewers to pause and consider the evolving contours of democracy and belonging.

“America, a Journey as a Metaphor” is my invitation to reflect, question, and converse—bearing witness to a country in flux, and asserting the enduring capacity of photography to interrogate, denounce, and inspire.
