In my travel through India, I was taking pictures to paint an oil painting. I already had the idea perfectly pictured in my mind.

Deserted beach, palm trees everywhere, no one in sight, sunny day… After 4 hours walking and almost a sunstroke, we got to the bus.

Then I realised that my phone, which I hold in my hand most of the time, had taken exactly 1.920 photos and hours in videos. They had an amazing color palette and beautiful abstraction.

 

For this reason I decided to do this installation (instead of the oil painting).

 

The idea and the hazard:

A reflection about the creative process, about what we can control and not.

 

How the idea starts, grows and develops.

 

(by the way, I do believe in synchronicity)
