Sono Qua (2020-2024) is an intimate portrait of the artist’s Sicilian Nonna, who is living with progressive dementia. The work observes her daily life, shaped by repetition and moments of disorientation, while highlighting the enduring presence of joy through her love of dancing, particularly to the Italian classic Campagnola Bella. The piece reflects on memory, ritual, and the ways personal expression persists even amid cognitive change, offering a tender exploration of time, identity, and the human capacity for connection and delight.
