Makoko, la “Venezia dell'Africa” come viene chiamata qui, la baraccopoli galleggiante più grande al mondo, ospita una solida comunità di oltre 300mila persone. Questo straordinario insediamento è alle prese con una serie di sfide, prima fra tutte la terribile assenza di infrastrutture e servizi essenziali, come elettricità, acqua potabile e strutture igienico-sanitarie. Immerse nel cuore di Lagos, il centro economico più grande e in rapida espansione dell'Africa, le palafitte di Makoko galleggiano sull'acqua, che paradossalmente funge anche da sistema fognario per i 20 milioni di abitanti di questa vibrante metropoli. Oltre ai suoi problemi infrastrutturali, Makoko deve far fronte a problemi pervasivi che comprendono povertà, l'accesso limitato all'istruzione e scarsità sanitaria. Queste difficoltà gravano pesantemente sui residenti, mettendo quotidianamente alla prova la loro resilienza. Inoltre, la comunità è alle prese con complesse preoccupazioni relative al possesso e alla proprietà della terra, esistente in uno stato informale che rimane non riconosciuto dal governo. Sorprendentemente, nonostante questi ostacoli e l'assenza di servizi basilari, la gente di Makoko mostra un incrollabile spirito di unità. Collaborano armoniosamente per fornire supporto reciproco, trovando modi innovativi non solo per sopravvivere ma anche per prosperare nel loro ambiente distintivo e stimolante. Di fronte alle avversità, hanno creato un profondo senso di appartenenza all'interno della loro affiatata comunità (Makoko Slum, Lagos, Nigeria - Ottobre 2023)

Enveloping atmosphere, with sharp lights and deep shadows. Excellent pdr and precision of the composition. The atmospheric perspective is also beautiful as well as the warm temperatures in the foreground, cold in the background.
The cultured expression then is the thing that exalts all this.
Great shot.
