The phenomenon of migration is one of the major events of our time.
For several years now, scenes of overcrowded boats and rivers of fleeing people have become a dramatic ordinariness, in what is a humanitarian problem still far from being solved.
My Work was born as a personal investigation, a research to understand more, to really experience something about these people, to know the faces overwhelmed by suffering.
Happy days, Ferria closely follows the life after trip, the arrival in a refugee center in Italy, the moment to take a breath, to start again.
These photographs want to be a hymn to rebirth, the indirect manifesto of an increasingly blurred and distorted equality.
Over a year of work, all I was expecting to find was definitely different than what I found.
I saw a diary of quiet days, a secret story of serenity, selfies and celebrations.
I saw eyes that say ‘I’m here,
I’m fine’.
