"When I Feel Lost, There Is Always Something to Guide Me."
Description
"This photograph was taken while visiting a beach where I have been developing a long-term documentary project about the daily routines and traditions of the local fishing community. For months, I have been returning to this coastline, building relationships with the people who live and work there, and documenting their everyday lives with care and respect. The young woman portrayed in this image is a Haitian immigrant who lives in this coastal community with her siblings. She has become part of the social fabric of the place, and meeting her offered me a quiet reflection on belonging, resilience, and identity. While walking along the shore, I was drawn to the calm determination in her presence. The vast sea before her became a metaphor for uncertainty, but also for possibility. For me, this photograph speaks about the search for direction during moments of vulnerability. Even when we feel lost, there are invisible forces - memory, hope, community, or the landscapes that shape us."Try it!
