Photograph printed as a fine art giclee on Canson Arches Aquarelle Rag paper, mounted to aluminum dibond and presented in a gold aluminum ArtBox frame with a 0.39" profile; total size 16.3x21.7 in. Accompanied by an original poem printed as a fine art giclee on Canson Arches Aquarelle Rag paper, 8.3x11.1 in. in a gold aluminum ArtBox frame with a 0.39" profile. My Dear unfolds through a sequence of unanswered questions, allowing uncertainty to remain intact. Meaning emerges indirectly-through address, image, and pause-rather than explanation or resolution.

Diane Scrofani is a New York City-based visual poetry artist whose work unites photography and text into a single contemplative form. Each piece begins with an image and concludes in stillness. Her photographs function as sites of pause-holding moments that may be present, remembered, or still approaching.

Scrofani's works are composed in two inseparable forms: photograph and original poem. The image establishes atmosphere; the poem gives shape to what arises within the viewer-memory, longing, grief, calm.
Her writing responds directly to the world each photograph creates, shaped by place, music, and the emotional residue of lived experience.
My Dear was photographed in Islamorada, Florida, a recurring and formative
landscape in Scrofani's practice. Rendered in early light and open horizon, the images inhabit a threshold between departure and return, where time appears suspended.
