"Longing"it is a photograph taken in Mozambique, in the province of Maputo, and deeply captures the feeling of an old fisherman, a man marked by time and the waves of the sea. He misses the days when he returned home with nets full of fish, his heart overflowing with joy and his lips letting out songs of victory. In the past, returning home was a celebration, a testament to skill and the generous sea. However, over the years, reality changed. Climate change has significantly affected fishing levels, leaving nets almost empty. Now, he looks to the horizon with melancholic longing, wanting to relive those moments of abundance and happiness that seem so far away, but remain vivid in his memory.
