Veil is the story of a woman. A woman who has chosen to be a cloistered nun. The approach to a choice, the religious one, imposes "conventions" and "rules" of life in a time, like today, where the physical and inner appearance seems to be the basis of everyday life, an appearance also regulated by the unrestrained use of new media. The photographic medium will then be exploited for the purpose of representing a figure - female in this case - different. The point of arrival, however, will not be the analysis of the religious theme, this will be used only as a means, objective testimony and instrument of the story. The goal is to understand how it is possible for a person to find freedom even in the choice of a certain way of life; for these women it is a life free from preconceptions, from conditioning and from daily space-time coordinates; it is a life made of essentiality. It is therefore a life, that of the cloister, consisting only apparently of rules and renunciations.
