Infiorata - Carousel book with Pamphlet

Italy’s Infiorata festival is a spiritual, sharing, healing, devotional community based celebration and cultural event, all rolled into one. It symbolizes and exemplifies the virtue, appreciation and beauty of living life to its fullest, alongside the manifestation of its preciousness. This carousel book celebrates vaccines and science, alongside the beginning of some normal experiences, such as a simple hug from a loved one. Created with photos taken by the artist in Bolsena and Spello, Italy. The second layer of the book showcases the many hands – from young to old – that make this event possible. Open edition.
