Book Description: My interest in the topic of the body led me to undertake a documentary project with boxers. I still wanted to give it a specific meaning, so decided to make an exploration of male vulnerability. For this purpose, I photographed boxers from different disciplines and I chose to distance myself from the sport in itself. Bringing the topic back into my own context, I looked for images that referred to pain and fragility.
Inspired by the painting of the saint and martyr Sebastian, Ex Corde —a Latin expression that means “from the heart”— attempts to assess human experience.
