From the need to (re)connect with ourselves and the reality that surrounds us, growns between a game of ‘lights’ and shadows "My little garden": A short audiovisual piece that shows how we cultivate our safe space in intimacy, as a result of the loss of identity we suffer for gradually exposing ourselves to a constant of stimuli, in a society where the boundary between tangible and virtual reality is increasingly blurred. In this capitalist world, of social media and bigdata, we undertake our own inner path to seek and reconnect with what makes us feel and be, the best version of ourselves.Through dance and 3D motion design, I direct a piece where the identity of the dancers is masked to connect with what they feel and be able to transmit to the viewer a story: the story of the internal struggle to build, remember or fight for who we are, who we love and why we live.

This piece designed exclusively in vertical format for smartphones, introduces the user in an experience that breaks in with an uncomfortable aesthetic near the sinister, where the dancers emerge from the darkness, generating that point of tension to the viewer that contrasts sharply with moments of light, virtual nature and fantasy. These dualities mark us the ‘quid’ of the piece: light-dark, nature and nothingness, or "My little garden": that polar struggle to keep our inner truth alive and the relevance of a safe-space for the construction of the self.
