Entry Description

"Allegories of life, lessons of nature" is a series of photos with allegorical and metaphorical meanings about life. A fantastic and imaginary world where animals, common objects and nature meet in surreal atmospheres. The images come to life from Alessandra’s everyday life experiences: her life in the countryside, surrounded by 11 dogs, chickens, pigs, horses and all kinds of farm animals, fruit and olive trees and plantations are an inexhaustible source of ideas and inspiration for her work. It’s remarkable how sometimes the most common objects can dress symbolic meanings and almost take life completely integrated in the narrative plot. In many of these surreal pictures you can also see the author's sensitivity to the defense of animals, her love for dogs and her commitment to the preservation of nature.
