through his photographic journey, luca tombolini explores how our social persona has drastically separated our minds from ancestral times, when man solely relied on his spirituality to cope with anything. in other words, today’s world and scientific knowledge overshadow that era when myths and spiritual insight have dominated consciousness. photographs displayed are drum scanned and printed on a 100x133cm C-type, in limited edition.
