Diafragma

Diafragma (Published by Multipress) is a photographic book project that asks whether photography can give form to what cannot be directly seen — the invisible structures and tensions that run through natural cycles, female cycles and life cycles. The project examines how lived experience accumulates in the body over time, through breath, rhythm and internal movement. Grounded in an ecological mode of thinking, the work understands the body as inseparable from its environment, shaped by biological processes, social expectations and generational inheritance. Particular attention is given to the female body and to questions of vulnerability, endurance and the negotiation of space. The photographs move between details of the body, elements from the natural world and domestic interiors, approaching these motifs without hierarchy. Rather than constructing a linear narrative, the work operates through repetition, variation and pauses, reflecting cyclical rather than progressive time. Diafragma is realised as a tactile and open photographic book. The title refers to the diaphragm muscle, understood both as a physiological structure and as a conceptual site where emotional, physical and environmental forces intersect.
