Émilie Teresina CaraccioloDescription
Émilie Teresina Caracciolo discovered early on that photography was her means of making sense of the World. For Émilie, capturing moments through her lens became an essential way to understand and document the complexities and beauty of life around her. "Exile issues always mattered to me, maybe because of my own story, of all that I know about it and all that is left unsaid. With Ghazal, we explored connections between the country of origin and the host country. There was no dress code, but I truly appreciated that she chose to wear what is such a precious dress to her family, her mother’s wedding dress. One of the only things her family could bring when they fled Afghanistan a couple of years ago. I tried to capture the ambivalence between a heart-rending but life-saving departure."Try it!
