« Imagine a season that seems destined to be like any other. However, during this season, a series of events brings to light terrible truths that shatter your sense of safety and normalcy. Instead of merely evoking a simple feeling of fear, this time becomes a moment of crucial enlightenment. Fear, in this context, is not the ultimate goal but a catalyst for deeper transformation.

It is an investigation into my unconscious family history. » The Dark and Surreal Photography of Marta Blue, Sky Arte 2024
