Niccolò “Blinnky” Squitti

The photos represent different fundamental aspects of breaking, the lightness, introspection and strength. Through the music we get in touch with ourselves we dig deep until we arrive at what is the true origin of the flow, what differentiates a bboy from the other, the personality of each of us that manifests itself while we dance. And it is during this phase that you feel immensely strong and immensely light, the moves, the freezes but also the footworks and the toprocks are nothing but visual representations of sensations and emotions.
