This series captures a fevered day at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, where the crowd becomes a storm—shifting between euphoria and rage, worship and war. Each frame reveals a different facet of the modern arena: the faceless mass, the clenched fists, the shattered boundaries between spectator and spectacle. Glass panels strain to separate bodies charged with tension. A staff member disappears into the surge. A fan pleads to the scoreboard like it’s a god. Flags rise like declarations, fists fly, and yet—moments later—so do hands in prayer. Stadium Fever is not just about a football match. It is about the fragile choreography of collective emotion, and the stadium as a crucible for identity, masculinity, nationalism, and chaos. Shot in high-contrast monochrome, the images echo with grain and blur—intensifying the volatility and urgency of the moment. The stands are no longer architectural seats; they are battlegrounds of voice, pressure, and performance.
