About the Book
Held in Bone is a contemplative photobook by Renato Rampolla that lingers with what is often unseen. Through a sequence of layered portraits, the work attends to moments of pause, drift, and quiet tension, where faces appear and recede and meaning emerges slowly through looking.

Rather than describing identity, these photographs remain with presence itself, with what surfaces when performance falls away and words no longer hold. The images move deliberately, asking the viewer to slow down and stay with what resists explanation.

Held in Bone is a meditation on memory, absence, and the traces experience leaves behind, offering a quiet, sustained encounter with the inner lives we carry.
