Studio project
OSS Care Work
A Flavia and Matteo collaboration about care, training, hospital work, and the shortage of nursing staff in Italy.
Care appears here as symbol, atmosphere, and public attention rather than documentary portraiture.
Story
Care work and image-making
Portrait, corridor, and symbolic calm shape this project. It connects Flavia's experience studying and becoming certified as an OSS, operatore socio sanitario, with Matteo's image-making process. The central OSS portrait is an invented depiction of Flavia, not a real photograph.
The works invite care workers, families, cultural groups, and health-care communities to see hospital labor as human, emotional, and worthy of attention.
