And I fell like a dead body falls

Artist: Davide Curzi, Italy

Description:

"An apparently dead body with vital signs, to indicate the discomfort of having to necessarily abandon one’s land and therefore one’s usual psycho-emotional dimension, waiting for a resurrection."

The artist portrays a figure caught in a suspended state - physically present yet emotionally and spiritually absent. Through this metaphor of a body that appears lifeless but still holds signs of life, he expresses the deep sense of loss and disorientation that accompanies forced departure. Uprooted from familiar landscapes, relationships, and cultural anchors, the individual enters a liminal space where identity and belonging are blurred.
