Oscurità^2

“Oscurità^2” (pronounced: Oscurità squared), Italian for “obscurity“ and “darkness“, is an ongoing project based on the obscure, personal and dark subject matters that Davide has established with the creation and conceptual translation of “The Figure” (A representational concept that was created by studying very distinct dreams and events), and its mutations, on the psychoanalytical and psychological manifestations of suppressed trauma, emotions and/or memories.

Dark, voided out bodies are psychologically constructed figures that are most commonly associated with sleep paralysis and the study of dreams. Many are familiar with the figure as they refer to them as their “sleep paralysis demon/s”, or, generally, dark figures that appear in ones dreams. Many psychologists have argued that these figures are from the human unconscious, manifesting themselves as suppressed trauma, emotions, and/or memories.
