Last year, I lived in Rome and spent a lot of time at the MAXXI museum. While the museum is famous for its big, impressive architecture and modern art, what really caught my attention were the small, everyday moments happening around me. I’ve never been interested in grand scenes or famous people. Instead, I look at the little, often unnoticed moments that felt like watching a quiet play unfold.
Balzac called it “la comédie humaine” or the human comedy. That’s how I see my Walking. I’m interested in the simple, daily gestures that show the beauty of our lives. You won’t find celebrities or dramatic events here. Just regular people, like you and me, living their lives.
Walking through the halls of MAXXI, I used my camera to catch these humble moments. A person deep in thought in front of a painting, a smile shared between strangers, somebody try to fit in an art piece —these are the scenes that fascinate me. They are small, everyday actions that, to me, are truly beautiful.
I know these moments might not be exciting for everyone. They don’t grab headlines or demand attention. But I believe they are important. They show us who we are, in our simplest and truest form. They remind us that beauty is found in everyday life, not just in big, flashy events.
There’s a special kind of magic in these stolen moments, a quiet beauty that speaks to our shared humanity. In these images, I hope you see a part of yourself and the world around you, just as it is—ordinary, beautiful, and deeply human.
