(She/Her)

Monica Buscarino hails from Italy, with Sicily etched into her identity. Raised in a home of her mother’s paintings, art was always present—but drawing never felt natural. One day, struggling with a sketch, her father emptied a box of her photographs. “This is how you draw,” he said. Everything clicked. Photography became her way of seeing, of holding onto what disappears—a pursuit of light, time and the stories that live in between. Writing followed, clacking away on an old typewriter, turning fleeting moments into something permanent. Her work moves through intimacy, memory and the quiet poetry of the everyday.

What does pleasure mean to you?

Pleasure is presence. It’s the art of dissolving into a moment—through touch, taste, movement or silence. The space between inhale and exhale. The unfiltered, the unscripted. The body speaking its own language, the soul humming back.
