Through the Middle Sea – Portraits of Resilience
Between the waves of the Mediterranean, silence carries the stories no one was meant to tell.
This series documents the fragile journey of those who fled across the sea — not as statistics, but as faces, bodies, and moments suspended between fear and hope.
Each photograph traces the thin line between survival and surrender. The salt, the wind, the trembling horizon — they become witnesses of resistance, of the human instinct to move toward life even when every current pulls the other way.
Through the Middle Sea is not a chronicle of tragedy, but a meditation on resilience — on what remains unbroken after loss, and on how courage looks when it is soaked in salt and light.
The camera does not search for victims; it seeks dignity in movement, the quiet strength of those who refuse to disappear.

Milano, Italy
now based in Berlin. My work moves between art, media, and human experience… exploring how stories can rebuild trust, identity, and connection in times of change.
Shaped by my own journey through conflict and displacement, I use the language of film, sound, and light to capture resilience and truth. I studied Media Art and Design at Bauhaus University Weimar, where I learned to merge visual aesthetics with social meaning.
