We were exactly where we needed to be.

The concept ‘Nuvant fa a paur’ is related to the ancient neapolitan tradition of the ‘Tombola’ game played during Christmas holidays.

This is a lottery game, similar to Bingo, that for each number has a corresponding image or phrase, known as ‘figure’ or ‘simbologie’, which adds a fun and cultural twist to the game.

The number 90 corresponds to “a’ paur” which means ‘fear’. In this piece, the background is the scan of an old Tombola sheet that contains all the numbers that I found in my nonna’s house. The use of color red comes from the classic layout of the game (pic. 1&2)

I don’t know exactly what I wanted to communicate but I guess it’s the blurriness that fear can give us.

I’ve decided to try to spend less time on social media investing my time to learn skills for hobbies I’m interested in.

The goal is making small projects every month trying to actually finish them and learn something from them, but without feeling too overwhelmed by the size of them.

For January I’ve decided to try learn how to use Affinity and to make little graphics.

The first project I finished is this little piece of mixed media: on the background a picture shoot on 35 mm film in Paris in July edited with the quote ‘EVOLVE OR DIE’.

I don’t know if this will arrive to someone but if so suggest me small projects I could make for the next time.

I would like to have tips and suggestions of any kind to be better :)
