ABOUT
J-IS-A
Your body and soul bear scars, some you caused accidentally, others were caused by the life you were given. You tried to hide them because you were ashamed, they would have revealed a part of you that you secretly keep.
As we live in an increasingly fragmented society where the aspiration to achieve perfection has led to identity crises highlighted more and more by the intense consumption of social media, the intention behind J-IS-A is to reflect on the core role of our current society in constructing our identities as well as plagiarizing and manipulating them. This project wants to be a space to reflect on the impact of religion, family, media in the construction of our individual self which is increasingly becoming a collective self. It wants to investigates personal identity and social constructs in an increasingly consumerist society, regulated by individual ephemeral interests. I want to sparkle a reflection and possibly a conversation about life, the evolution and perception of body and soul in our current society, and the immense impact of education, money, arts on us.
There is not the slightest intention to judge, but rather to create a safe space. John 8:7 says “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first” (New King James), and as a flawed and imperfect human being, I believe I am not qualified to throw a stone at anyone, nor do I intend to, and I apologize in advance if I ever deviate from this position. However, I want to make it clear that this space will uncover sensible topics and discuss the myriad sides of this journey we call life. This is a quest to discover oneself, one’s identity, from imbalance to spiritual balance.
Since November 2025.
ME
28 years old, born and raised in the mother continent. I have always had some form of artistic expression at heart. Since I was little, I always liked music but I never went beyond that. I remember that my mother gave me a guitar when I was maybe 11 years old but I never learned to play it, for me it was a precious object not to be ruined rather than an instrument to learn.
I emigrated to Italy at a young age and spent most of my life there. High school was pretty great, I won’t lie, not because there was anything particularly amazing or life-changing happening in my life, but simply because of the peace of mind, quiet and carefreeness of life during those years. My main concern was doing well in school, getting good grades, I was adamant about this. College had its ups and downs but it was also pretty solid. I met a few new people – I wasn’t a big socializer –, learned some new things about life, was stressed about finding my “calling”, my future path; I asked myself some questions, what if i pursue a creative career? because that could actually make me happy; maybe writing something? directing? the desire was and still is to create something that reach and resonate with people.
Starting to work after university made me realize that I really wanted something more, something that wasn’t tied to a secluded space for decades, doing the same things. I wanted something exciting, thrilling, adventurous. So many other questions came up and this time I decided to take the plunge and try to do something new. This blog, however, is not something new, it is not sudden, rather it is the result of years of reflections. It wants to be a space for sharing ideas, stories, life, faith and personal growth. It is my little digital footprint, my vision, in this ocean that is full of ideas, aspirations and continuous challenges.
Maybe this is a bit too much of sharing but you’re here because you clicked on “About me” which mean that for some reason you wanted to know me, so there you go.
Thank you for stopping by, wish you a good life.
