22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Staglieno monumental cemetery - scaffolding
A photograph captured in analog double exposure at the monumental Staglieno Cemetery. The ethereal figure of a marble angel, frozen in solemn, eternal repose, is juxtaposed with the scaffolding of ongoing architectural work. The serene expression of the statue contrast with the dynamic, transient nature of the construction, symbolizing the tension between the permanence of death and the ever-changing human endeavor. The image evokes a meditation on the intersection of life, death, and transformation, where the timelessness of funerary art meets the fleeting, vital force of renovation.
