Dark Matter is a photographic and video work about identity as an internal space of tension and coexistence.
Light and darkness, good and evil, visible and invisible are not opposed, but essential components of the same structure.

The idea stems from recognizing that every human being is composed of multiple and contradictory forces, and that balance is generated only through accepting their presence.
Black is not absence, but gravity.
It’s not what’s missing, but what holds everything together.

The work investigates the body as a surface traversed by these forces.
There’s no separation between form and substance: the body is a living trace of what inhabits it.

Good and evil are not labels.
They are movements of identity.
Not moral categories, but dynamic polarities that allow form to exist.

The work develops as a visual study of the fragile balance between elements that, though opposed, support each other.
Light and shadow coexist in the same space.
Each image is a provisional point of equilibrium between the parts.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
