Ianua is the door that symbolizes a passage, both physical and mental, a different perspective, a change of one's "I", through the awareness of someone different from himself. People in our society almost always use the face turned outward, often stopping at appearances, and becoming a prisoner of illusory mechanisms. In this photo I wanted to blend the imagery of our ancient Western culture with the oriental one. Giano bifronte, Ianus, from Ianua, from which the name Genoa derives, has a face turned to the external phenomenal world and one turned towards the inner and subjective world, with one can look at the future and with the other the past. In Taoism we find the very ancient concept of Yin and Yang which constitutes the symbol of the duality existing in each element of which the Universe is composed: two opposing and complementary entities that form the totality.
