Il counselor psicosociale è una figura che si muove su un terreno ibrido, tra il magma dell’esistenza quotidiana e le ferite sottili del respiro sociale. Venti anni di imprenditorialità e una ricerca artistica in costante metamorfosi hanno affilato la mia sensibilità verso le trame invisibili delle dinamiche umane. Attraverso un’indagine critica dell’irrazionale e delle conformità sociali, PSYKOSAPIENS si erge come baluardo della libertà di pensiero. Eccole le mappe: studi universitari e ricerca in territorio svizzero, intrecciati a un percorso accademico italiano, hanno dato vita a un principio in divenire — una forma esplorante, capace di guardare oltre i confini, smontare costrutti storici, manierismi, discorsività, contraddizioni. Dubitare e curiosare sono la mia bussola nel fluire continuo dell’esistenza — un supporto autentico per navigare il mondo liquido con consapevolezza, senza abbracciare false terre ferme.
