Young girl Phnom Penh slum

As the human condition of the poorest touches me in particular, I wanted to give a voice to those we don’t hear by way of my photos; to the outcasts, those forgotten by rich and opulent societies. For all those neglected and precarious, who live in a parallel world, almost surreal, unthinkable and above all unacceptable.

Photography is a universal language. That’s why I chose to reflect the harshness of this reality through my lens, to show the inequalities that still remain today. But also to immortalize these incredibly rich encounters in images, where all emotions are multiplied tenfold in their most simple splendor, underlining a humane generosity, where sharing knows no boundaries.

To all those faces; those men, women and children encountered in the shanty towns of Pnom Penh, or on the neighbouring wastelands. To the families living in sheltered housing by the railway tracks along the Ganges in Kolkata, or those in the poor and removed neighbourhoods of Varanasi.
