My work explores the concept of identity through the intersection of place, the body, and dress — how our identities are shaped by the clothes we wear and the spaces we inhabit, both as individuals and as a collective. In Italian, the words abito (dress) and abitare (to inhabit) share a common root; this etymological link runs through my practice: investigating how the way we dress and the way we dwell define our place in the world.

After a decade documenting global fashion weeks, my practice shifted toward long-term documentary projects. These range from the hijab as an expression of cosmopolitan identity among younger generations in Indonesia, to the social cleansing and gentrification of London and the erosion of community that follows

This work frequently extends beyond photography into collaboration and curation — working alongside architects, academics, and activists, and across photography, collage, installation, and digital archiving to preserve histories that are at risk of disappearing alongside the places that produced them.
