As previously mentioned on my instagram account, in 2022 my old photo archive was sort of miraculously rescued, thanks to Syntex Informatica, so now I can finally try to get everything together: the old & the new stuff on the same website (www.elenaarvasi.com will replace elenarvasi.com). This will be my final effort to UNIFY my work!

Curiously enough, he oldest image I found (catalogued under January 2011, even though I had taken it in 2009) is not a pretty landscape or a gorgeous portrait. It is a snapshot of the title of an article by Chiara Lubich, the founder of Movimento dei Focolari. Not highly artistic but it is worth sharing it, as her words are still powerful and beautiful.

“Sono Grazie” = “My name is Thank You. When I come knocking at your door and you ask my name, I won’t tell you my name. I will just say: My name is “Thank You” as I am thankful to you, forever and for everything”.
