"Roma Interiors" is a series of portraits that captures the private world of an outwardly loud, vivacious people. A rich and profound intimacy is exhibited through antique furniture, tapestries, paintings, religious images, china, staircases and mirrors, set into large rooms; sometimes the spaces are waiting to be filled. The images capture women sitting on elegant sofas or portrayed during intimate family moments, young people lounging on beds in their luxurious rooms, elders immortalized amongst their mementoes, proud faces of parents admiring their children. These are portraits of a people wanting to show that they have finally succeeded in finding and forging a place and a dignified future within our society, without losing the Roma values, handed down orally, that come from the hearts of their ancestors.
