Misleading hope (Single)
DESCRIPTION
It was January 6, 2020. A 14-year-old boy from Yopougon climbed over the Félix Houphouët-Boigny airport fence in Abidjan (Republic of Côte d'Ivoire) and managed to hide in the landing gear of a Boeing 777 bound for Paris. The plane took off at 22.55 and landed at Charles de Gaulle airport the following morning when the boy had already lost his life due to the high altitude flight's shallow temperatures. This photo tells about his innocent hope. This photo is dedicated to the memory of Ani Guybailly Laurent.

Brief Bio
I was born in Genoa, Italy, in 1969.
In the late 80s I bought my first film camera.
During the next five years I took a huge amount of images.
In the mid-90s, distracted by many changes in my life, I stopped completely that activity. For many years later I felt the need to vent my creativity in different forms.
I worked as a graphic designer for a decade. I painted intensely for a couple of years.
In 2007 I started a gradual process of rapprochement to photography.
In 2015 I started to partecipate in international photo contests.
