Gabber Suns

This series was born from improvisation — an instinctive visual gesture where I suddenly recognized an aesthetic I’ve always been fascinated by: the gabber universe. Hardcore music, shaved heads under caps worn too high, explosive kicks, rage, adrenaline. It’s not a culture I personally belonged to, yet it’s one I’ve always observed with respect and curiosity.For me, these suns are not just about aggression. They carry the memory of difficult years — moving away from Milan during middle school and facing the loneliness and limitations of small–town life, and later the painful isolation of my master’s year in Bristol, which I experienced almost like a prison.
These faces of light are angry, distorted, burning — but they’re also fragile. They are the aesthetic translation of pain: powerful, loud, distorted, yet strangely human.
