La Capitale in Chiaroscuro

A photographic exhibition about the hidden treasures of Valletta.

All 21 photographs in this exhibition focus on the areas in Valletta that are usually full of activity and hectic during the day but calm down during the night. And here is where the magnificence of this city lushes out in silence. When I was a kid I used to run from one street to another with my grandparents and wondered who had ever built such a fortress, such a place that looked boundless to me those days.

During most of my visits to this city I discovered her hidden secrets of the past, the strongholds that kept Valletta what it is today. In due course I also discovered that time has not spared her lusciousness, her strength, and there is where I wanted to contribute. I wanted to bring out what many might ignore during the day, the architecture that has survived several years, the many facets that the city still enjoys.

The exhibition is being held at:

A pebbled path

Gozo, Nature and Thought, Outside world, the past, The sea

Looking at my past, lost in the depths of the sea, pushed ashore today I rest on this solid ground, dried out from my luxurious shine by the scorching rays of the god of light. Overlooking my fellow companions, watching them following the path that I hath laid.

Like a dandelion

Gozo, Malta, Nature and Thought, Outside world, Searching, The sea

Lost into the depths of alienation, wondering from one place to another, venturing into places I have never been before, lost. For so long I have not seen my reflection, I have not heard my voice anywhere, my Qi wondering off like a dandelion carried by the winds of society.

Once again I wait, for a moment, for an instance, for a shot. I wait for this is the only task I can reach, the only instance I can achieve, the only time I can be myself. My senses are not as alert as they should be but aware, enough to know that I am not alone.
