Climate Emergency

In 2018, I started following news about Greta Thunberg, Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion movements with no intention of doing anything about it. I was preparing and training to get my self into the world of commercial photography. On August 14, Greta embarked on a voyage over the Atlantic on a carbonless sailboat. And then it all came back to me; my passion for exploring the natural world and sailing, the microscope my father gave me and the period in my life I had spent over Gerald Durrel’s “A Practical Guide for the Amateur Naturalist” book… The period of being a refuge and returning home to my foothills, fields and rivers in a surrounded territory and heavily land mined… Failure to publish the project about the Libyan civil war and refuge crisis in Tunisia… On September 27, I got up with the rising sun, had some tea I foraged myself, took my camera and went to the Climate Strike… Soon after, I quit my job at a hotel and started working fully on this project… “The point of no return is no longer over the horizon.” – Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres.
