My underground art explorations

Urban ruins and forgotten tunnels become living portraits when a human figure enters their darkness, unclothed and unguarded. Through exploring abandoned factories, aqueducts, and catacombs, even spaces haunted by wild dogs and lost memories are reclaimed as both playground and sanctuary. In places where history lingers and nature intrudes, the presence of a single body transforms decay into something poetic and deeply human.
