LAMPEDUSA WINTER REFLECTIONS
-
A series of images featuring the sea around Lampedusa (Ita), an island of just over 20 square kilometres emerging from its waters.
Geologically, we are on the African continental shelf, approximately 150 km from Tunisia and 210 km from Italy.
Every morning, for about a month, before the sun rose I went to the cliff to photograph the moment when night would give way to day: a ritual, a form of reflection, perhaps a plea for help to clarify the doubts I carry with me.
But the doubts did not dissolve, and so the reflections continued at other times of day as well.
During my stay on the island (December 29, 2025 – January 22, 2026), at least 200 migrants arrived: I met fifteen of them just after landing, on the morning of January 18.
Starting the following day, cyclone Harry arrived.
No doubt was resolved, and the questions only grew deeper.
