Inshallah explores the lives of young Muslims born and raised in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on Moroccan soil marked by marginalization, high unemployment, and cultural tension. The project reflects on a state of suspension, between borders, identities, and aspirations. Through intimate portraits and landscapes, it reveals the resilience and dreams of youth navigating exclusion, faith, and belonging. Inshallah becomes a message of hope across cultural and social divides.

Nicolas is a freelance documentary photographer based in Cesena (Italy). He produces long-term photographic projects that deal with issues of social and environmental relevance. Through his work, he aims to tell the stories of limited communities living in conditions of precariousness, social exclusion and marginalisation. His works offer an intimate and personal glimpse into the lives of local inhabitants, while conveying a sense of urgency and collective needs. Since 2019, he has attended several masterclasses and photojournalism workshops with internationally renowned photographers.
