My project is a personal journey into the depths of fatherhood, where I strive to understand why, despite my full commitment to my son's life, the system still
perceives me as a secondary parent solely because of my gender. I question why
fathers are so often marginalized and what societal mechanisms contribute to
this perception.
Collaborating with my 10-year-old son, I am working to restore his childhood,
which was brutally interrupted by dramatic events, and to create a new visual
language that challenges and reconstructs the image of fatherhood in today's
world. This project immerses me in emotions- from frustration and helplessness
to depression—and allows me to reflect on how these feelings shape my
relationship with my child.
I ask myself questions about the nature of masculinity and fatherhood, presenting
myself as an imperfect yet deeply committed father who is trying to build a bond
with his son in a world full of contradictions and difficult questions. Existential
reflections on growing up and communication difficulties intertwine with images
that attempt to capture my son's world—a world where adult conflicts entangle
children in their gears.
This is the story of my struggle for love and my attempts to rebuild parenthood on
new, fairer grounds.
