In October I happened to be lucky enough to be able to do
something that could take about 2 years to get authorized. I
boarded a Portuguese Navy vessel to provide full coverage of the
Frontex Triton mission.
Today, despite having learned so much, I know less than I thought
I knew before I went; Now I miss the difference between migrants
and refugees. I have witnessed humanity and inhumanity. The
expressions in the portraits I took, made me know that saving
people is the only thing that matters, even when their fate is
uncertain. What is happening there is the whole lie of the world.
Failed states lead these people out to sea, usually at dawn, in a
lying promise of better conditions in an Europe that is on the other
side of the sea. The side of the sea that counts for almost
everyone who finds himself world.
