Looking up, a year of poems, notes and drawings under the night sky

Looking Up is the result of an invisible performance: the establishment of a quiet and private ritual. Born from the accumulation of moments of stillness and the desire to observe the waves of a mind accustomed to contemplating the sublime of starry nights, the project began with a simple gesture.

For 365 days, I took the time to sit by the window and look up. Eventually, the need to document these moments emerged, and I began taking notes, writing words and making drawings.

Driven by the desire to discover whether this habit could change and shape my life, I collected these fragments and brought them together in a book of black pages and white lettering, inspired by the colours of the night and the brightness of the stars.

The result is a collection of notes, poems and drawings; an emotional barometer, a gathering of micro-experiences and fleeting glances captured at the boundary between dreaming and waking reality.

Arranged chronologically, the texts reflect the daily evolution of the practice, revealing shifts in perception, emotions and inner processes over the course of a year.
