INSPIRATION - RAFAEL SOLDI/PHOTOGRAPHER





















////////////////////////////RAPHAEL SOLDI.photographer

Born in Peru. Lives and works in Seattle. WA.

I was intrigued by Raph's photos based on his impeccable sense of light and composition and most notably this series above entitled "Nona" for their honest perspective of interiors as a family mourns the loss of a beloved one and dismantles a home piece by piece.

artist statement.

My Nona was a fascinating woman: a world class historian, anthropologist and archaeologist, but most importantly a mother/grandmother. A woman of rare modesty and intense honesty, Ana Marie Soldi has influenced some of the most respected scholars in the world today and I am sure has touched the hearts of every single person she has ever met. Kind as one can be, my Nona and I could spend hours talking about art and photography. My Nona could look at me and smile in a way that no one else can. These are photographs of her house, the place where she spent the last 40 years of her life. This is the place where she died, surrounded by her family and everyone else who loved her deeply.
