Shadows and lights infuse the daily routine of the Moroccan people, who live in the medina, the old town, under a sun that shines high and mighty over the horizon and over the sharp architecture. Morocco is full of highly intense and expressive elements: colour is saturated and dazzling; light reveals and is warm. Often the shadows that envelop or are about to envelop the depicted characters acquire a symbolic strength. They embed what remains private of the local people, the reality that there are vast limits to the gaze of the stranger. Above all, they enclose an unknown force; a mysterious condition... In some photos, the light takes over this force, and prevails as a mystical and symbolic presence. In others, the shadows give shelter and somehow project everywhere: downward - upward - leftward - rightward and to the centre, even in playful graphical shapes, almost reminiscent of the photographic process itself.
