From Naples to Paris, and far beyond; The Rabbit Hole traces the journey of a photographer in perpetual motion, caught between cities, encounters, and fleeting moments. Between 2021 and 2025, the artist followed an instinct more than a path, drawn toward the hidden sides of the world: underground scenes, nocturnal rituals, and the raw intimacy of strangers turned friends.
What began as an attraction to graffiti, to its freedom, adrenaline, and sense of belonging, became a passport to a global, nomadic community. Across South America, Mexico, Japan, France, and Italy, the camera becomes a diary, capturing fragments of life where chaos and beauty coexist.
Blending photographs, travel notes, and drawings by fellow artists, The Rabbit Hole is both confession and invitation; a descent into a world where art and experience intertwine, and where every encounter leaves a trace, even when no one is watching.
