My heart is empty as a mirror - Riga Episode 2018

"My heart is empty as a mirror - Riga Episode," a 2018 work by Gian Maria Tosatti, is a stark and haunting photographic portrayal of a figure lying in bed, shrouded in white sheets. The dimly lit room and the ominous presence of a medical tube evoke a sense of vulnerability and isolation. This poignant composition, suggestive of a hospital setting, explores themes of illness, mortality, and the fragility of human existence. Tosatti's work often delves into the human condition, prompting viewers to reflect on personal and collective anxieties.
