A celebrated photographer since the 1980s, Verdi's illustrious career is marked by international acclaim and prestigious awards. Her work consistently resonates with audiences worldwide, delving into the intricate relationship between nature, human experience, and cultural identity.

"Soul's Habitats" features interiors of religious buildings across Europe, showcasing their roles as physical structures and dynamic spaces for spiritual connection. Verdi's unique approach plays with focus and movement, capturing the essence of these sacred places rather than striving for technical perfection.

As Verdi herself stated, "I was immersing myself in these places, savoring the atmosphere; feeling this suspended time that hovers inside made me reflect on how, regardless of the religious cult practiced there, there is an aura within these walls, a soul that unites them."

Erica Romano, a contemporary art critic, added, "Verdi offers as a contrast an invitation to let go of certainties thanks to the unstableness of the shots and to allow emerge a powerful and significant fragility contained within." 

Verdi's photographs are characterized by a rich color palette and intentional blur elements, emphasizing the transitory nature of these sacred environments. This approach invites contemplation and allows for more profound interpretations of the powerful and symbolic meanings.
