Regardless if it is a figure or a state of mind, if it cannot be placed in a certain time or space, it is secret. <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the series, <a href=\"https:\/\/cherrydeck.com\/era.rik\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Riccardo Pelati<\/a> is the copy of this secret presence. While it is initially observed as a being that torments him, it eventually becomes his escape route. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Riccardo is able to communicate themes of anxiety and panic attacks that he has experienced. These subjects help the public interact with the photographs on a personal level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The photo series is made up of 8 images, each observing a different theme. The idea of self-discovery and growth is a dominant concept throughout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mutatis<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"494\" width=\"740\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/era.rik_.jpeg?resize=740%2C494&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21995\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The first image of the series observes the theme &#8216;Mutatis&#8217;. Accounting for the idea of metamorphosis, the nine snapshots represent the development from a quiet state of mind, to one that is altered and hostile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Imprisoned<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"494\" width=\"740\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/era.rik2_.jpeg?resize=740%2C494&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Riccardo Pelati\" class=\"wp-image-21996\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A state of self-segregation found in Riccardo&#8217;s negative thoughts begins the story. The theme of &#8216;Imprisoned&#8217; notices the four rough walls that he has built around himself. With the possibility of mapping out an escape route, he has already constructed a strong relationship with confidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I was trying to breathe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"494\" width=\"740\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/era.rik3_.jpeg?resize=740%2C494&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Riccardo Pelati\" class=\"wp-image-21998\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The third stage of the photo series, observes the place where Riccardo so often went when he was not well. Having gone there to think, write, and observe the planes one thought always stuck in his mind \u2014 &#8220;When will I also be able to take flight and leave all this behind?&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Everywhere it was cramped<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"494\" width=\"740\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/era.rik4_.jpeg?resize=740%2C494&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22000\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In moments where Riccardo was feeling uncomfortable no matter where he was, everywhere felt cramped.

This image is a metaphor that projects Riccardo&#8217;s feelings when he was disappointed or rejected, regardless of the bond he had to those people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking at the image, Riccardo is able to identify when the constant fear of falling and the concern of not being able to get back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Submissive<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" height=\"494\" width=\"740\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cherrydeck.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/era.rik6_.jpeg?resize=740%2C494&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22002\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The sixth stage of the photo series &#8220;Secret Presence&#8221; explores the theme &#8216;Submissive&#8217;.
