Welcome to the mysterious and captivating universe of my new series of photos: “The Echo of the Forgotten Sacred.” Through this series of photos, I invite you to a unique journey through time and space, where beauty mingles with the melancholy of abandoned religious places once imbued with devotion and spirituality.
During my explorations, I had the chance to discover these forgotten jewels, majestic sanctuaries once animated by the enthusiasm of believers. Today, these sacred abandoned religious places sit silently, imbued with a haunting aura that bears witness to the passage of time and history.
With my lens as my only companion, I immersed myself in these abandoned spaces, sometimes invaded by wild nature, sometimes sublimated by the play of light through the broken stained-glass windows. Each shot I present is a moment frozen in time, an open window on the soul of these places once filled with faith.
I captured the essence of these abandoned places between delicate ruins and decadent architecture, revealing their melancholy beauty in striking contrasts. Each photo tells a story of a glorious past that inspires admiration despite the veil of decline.
Welcome to my photographic universe.
