Questionable Love

Questionable Love

Inspired by Bob Marley's quote:

"You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it.

You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining.

You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows.

So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me".

Infinity is Ours

Infinity is Ours

Illustration of Mr. Raro (Designer of  Italian clothing brand MARARO) and Eleonora Sebastiani (International Photographer).

I admire them for their elegance, style, and for embracing the essence of Italy in their designs.
