EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Darrin Zammit Lupi, a rescued migrant clings onto a tent on the deck of the MOAS ship Phoenix. The Malta-based NGO Migrant Offshore Aid Station is on its way to Pozzallo, Sicily, Italy. The photograph was taken on April 6,2017. The scene depicts an unidentified individual whose face remains hidden but whose determination and resilience are palpable. Against the backdrop of a vast sky and open air, this person's hand tightly grasps onto the fabric of the tent as if their life depends on it. Their silhouette against the bright daylight creates an evocative contrast that emphasizes their vulnerability in such harsh conditions. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing immigration crisis and highlights both human strength and fragility in equal measure. It also draws attention to environmental factors as we see how nature's elements play a role in shaping these migrants' journeys. Zammit Lupi's composition skillfully captures not only this individual’s struggle but also invites viewers to reflect upon larger issues surrounding immigration and displacement. By focusing solely on one body part –the hand– he encourages us to empathize with those who have embarked upon perilous journeys seeking safety and hope for better lives. Overall, this photograph represents both creative use of visual storytelling techniques and serves as a call for greater understanding towards migrants facing unimaginable challenges during their quest for refuge.
