Sister Priscilla belongs to the Turkana tribe in Northern Kenya. Like the extreme climate she is from, her story carries a climate of extremes.
Priscilla fell into a deep depression after her father was killed by a rival tribe, her mother passed away from a snake bite, and her husband left her with six children.
The trauma she endured broke her heart open and simultaneously opened a path for her to become a nun. She followed the path before her and found a life of healing in God. She began to overcome the dark with the Light.
Born and raised in a little village in the Italian Alps, now based in Barcelona, Mauro already felt from young age the desire to tell. He discovered that the camera was the right tool for him, the eye through which he could speak to the world. An instrument that began to walk by his side towards a long journey of discovery.
“Although it is difficult to express, I think that the photograph represents my way of speaking and what I try to do through my language is to capture the sense of what I breathe and touch with my hands".
