Greta Valente - Tell Us of Pain
And he said: your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so you must know pain. [...] Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity.
Tell us of pain is a project developed in the provinces of Naples and Salerno in 2021. It is a journey through the colours of the soul, an awareness of a human being walking asleep, reading ‘The Prophet’ by Kahlil Gibran and searching in the mists for his own awakening. In these lines and colors, I understood and made peace with pain, denoting the words of the Lebanese poet and trying to interpret them through photography.
