ABANDONED UMBRELLAS

I conceived this project while spending a few days in New York.

Many umbrellas were lying just in front of me, abandoned, as though they had a will of their own and wanted to communicate with me.

I was fascinated by the thought that these objects, which now stood abandoned in front of my eyes, once were seen as useful and “precious”.

Again, I was fascinated by the thought that different people could share the same gesture and mood.
