Through the Streets
of the East

9th place — ACI Photo Contest 2018

It is in the most forgotten and impoverished places on the planet that life seems to shine with a light of its own. Here, the superfluous disappears and only the essential remains: what we are and what we hope to become.

Children met along the street search for a way out, or perhaps only for a little colour within the labyrinth of fate. There is something fragile and immensely powerful in their presence: painful and wondrous at the same time.

Between the street and play, every gaze preserves a possibility: the chance to turn destiny into a direction that is still open.
