It all starts with a dream. And as almost always, the dreams are confused when waking up, diffuse and only loose images are remembered. And among those loose images some are clearer in my mind.

​

In my dream I hold in my hands some 20x30 cm  size enlargements of some photographs taken of a tree in the center of a landscape, half sky and half plain. It is a tree under different skies and light conditions. Then one word: "ONE". In uppercase.

 

When I wake up I am confused but with those fixed images in my mind. There are dreams that seem like messages from the subconscious

​

After a few days I feel the need to take the car and look for that tree. I finally find it. The tree and the landscape are surprisingly quite similar to the one in my dream. And from that moment I began to photograph it.

 

Almost a year after finding that tree and having photographed it for seven or eight months, I still don't know the meaning of the tree and the reason for the word ONE.

 

In each photo that I have taken and edited, I  wanted to reflect a state of mind at the moment of taking the photo. Going to visit and photograph that tree became a kind of therapy, a form of expression and letting out what I had inside each time I visited the place.

 

The last photo is a symbol that I carry with me as if it were a totem, which reminds me of that tree of my dreams.
