I love the way Claudia faces our environmental crisis from a different perspective. In her photography, nature becomes a sort of alienating force, something ungraspable, mysterious, but also mesmerizing and mystical. Metamorphosis has the power to transcend the conception of what the natural elements are, inviting the viewers to contemplate what surrounds them. Fuggetti’s practice pushes the boundaries of photography mixing graphic, paint and coloured elements, and her photographs offer both a powerful and meditative vision.

Fotografiska Features
"In her series Metamorphosis, the Italian photographer and visual artist Claudia Fuggetti invites the viewer to consider nature as a living, breathing being—not simply the elements that surround us, but something that lives in harmony with us humans.
Using bright, neon colors and psychedelic imagery, the world Fuggetti depicts in her work is purposefully alien, like a landscape of a faraway planet. It's a world where humanity's presence is felt but not seen, creating something that is strange yet familiar. Exploring themes of technology, futurism, and environmental collapse, Fuggetti shows us a future that is equal parts fantasy and realism."
