My Body Collective, a Self-Portrait Photographic Journey is a unique autobiography, carried by words, poetry, and photography. Through this intimate and powerful narrative, AnnMarie Tornabene delivers a moving testimony of resilience. As we leaf through these pages, we discover fragments of her life and work, jumbled together in a deeply human and sincere work.

​

This book is a true hymn to life, a vibrant tribute to the words of André Malraux, who concluded Les Voix du Silence with this luminous sentence: “Art is an anti-destiny.” For if life can sometimes seem obscure, its meaning elusive, art becomes a beacon in the storm, guiding the body and soul.

​

My Body Collective shows us how the creative process can transform wounds into light. It reminds us that what matters most is this inner journey, and all the encounters that nourish it.
