I started this work fascinated by contortionists and I portrayed them in their home looking for an atmosphere that is sometimes surreal. Home Body is a project which explores the relationship between yoga practitioners and athletes with their environment, those who have transformed their home into a gym and much more, but who are now ready to start again after one year of lockdown. This project is a way to pay homage to these artists who have had to stand still for a long time and wants to talk about the hard blow that culture and the entertainment world have suffered in the last year. Each character tells a story about the new direction their career has taken or the relationship they have established with their private environment.
