I felt that the beauty of life was escaping me like water from my hands and was dispersing making my lifeblood cloudy and then settling deep down.
I felt the need to block time, to make a few miserable moments of beauty my own forever because everything is so ephemeral… Youth and freshness do not last forever.
I wanted to get away and have a free and light mind, no longer perceiving the weight of things.
These are sensations and emotions that I have had for so long and, finally, I have found a way to sort them out and understand them.
I find that the image of the flower is the one that best describes concepts such as youth, freshness and beauty. However it is a flower that floats in the water without ever emerging from it and this helps me to represent the need for isolation, sensory deprivation and that sense of drowning felt. The colored and inconsistent fluids that envelop the flowers are other elements that perfectly describe the relationship between beauty, lightness and suffocation.
“Ephemeral Flowers” is really about suffocation and what it feels like when things in life get the better of the individual.
There are two possible ways: to collapse oppressed by multitudes of chaotic thoughts or to abandon oneself and surrender to the flow, thinking of nothing. Yet even so you are not completely free from worries because, sooner or later, you lose the purpose and everything seems meaningless.
Living in a muffled world is apparently very comfortable since we tend to think that only beautiful, safe things and no unexpected things can happen there, yet, in the long run, one loses one's essence, until one drowns in the flow.
We live in a hectic and ruthless world, and talking about certain concepts through aesthetic and evocative images can be cathartic, above all because I am sure that these are sensations from which all souls, sooner or later, are tormented.

Sara Gentilini creates images with a surreal flavor and pastel aesthetics that place the human figure at the centre, especially the female one, investigating its weaknesses, fears, memories and desires, as well as the connection that exists between it and Nature, another central element in photos of Sarah. Within this poetics, even the Objects acquire a different importance: They, in fact, have a soul and take on anthropomorphic features.
Using mainly the collage technique, Sara creates connections between elements and realities that otherwise would never meet.
Sara Gentilini loves to combine photography with different media, such as painting and writing, giving her work greater eclecticism and completeness, presenting herself in a mélange of 2D and 3D.
After years of self-taught preparation, Sara obtained a master's degree in Fashion Photography at the John Kaverdash Academy of Photography in Milan.
In Italy his photographs have been exhibited in Turin (in particular, we mention the National University Library, the Museum of Urban Art and the "Liquida Photo Festival" by Paratissima), Milan, Rome and Catania, and in Switzerland in Lugano.
Some of his works have been published in the magazine “The World Of Interiors” by Condé Nast Britain (December 2022, January and February 2023 issues).
