This unique series is a continuation of the famous “Libido and Mortido” series of photographs, which in turn was presented at Somerset House, one of the most famous museums in London. Despite the fact that the series was completed in autumn 2020, it has already been published in the Italian Faddy Magazine and became the winner of the International Photography Awards professional competition which is traditionally held in Carnegie Hall, New York in the presence of the most famous photographers and curators from all over the world.

The psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung believed that there was a feminine beginning, or female part of the psychic setup, in subconsciousness of every man. He gave it the name "Anima", that is "soul" in translation from Latin. The anima is a personification of all feminine psychological qualities that a man possesses, such as haziness and vagueness of feelings and moods, emotional sensitivity, prophetic insights, susceptibility to the irrational and the capability for individual love. If a man does not try to relate with his anima, he gets what Jung called "a loss of soul", i.e., a lack of vitality, flexibility and humaneness. In the process of working on creative projects, I tend to resort to a kind of meditation and try to establish a connection with my anima, which is depicted as a nude female figure. The touch with one’s subconscious mind helps get rid of rigidity, rudeness, one-sidedness and, eventually, bond with the Unconscious.
