\nI think we all won. Thanks to everyone: to the contestants, to those who have given themselves to their gaze, to those who will vibrate to their stories"<\/em><\/p>\n

\nI wanted to answer the call also with an image that tells the story of the fish smoking sector, exploring through my shots the fragile balance between the dignity of a traditional job and the heavy consequences it has on the health and safety of workers.
