In this powerful print captured by Darrin Zammit Lupi, the shadows of African immigrants are seen as they cheer during a concert held to commemorate World Refugee Day at the Marsa Open Centre for Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Marsa, Valletta's Grand Harbour. The image beautifully portrays both hope and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. The silhouettes of these individuals represent not only their physical presence but also symbolize the countless untold stories and journeys that brought them to this moment. Their shadows merge together, forming a united front against adversity. As they gather in celebration, their cheers echo through the air, transcending language barriers and cultural differences. It is a testament to their strength and determination to overcome obstacles while seeking refuge in a foreign land. The Marsa Open Centre serves as a temporary home for approximately 800 immigrants who have fled from various countries in search of safety and stability. This photograph reminds us of the importance of recognizing and supporting those who have been forced to leave everything behind due to conflict or persecution. Through his lens, Darrin Zammit Lupi captures an unforgettable scene that highlights both the challenges faced by refugees worldwide and their unwavering spirit. It serves as a poignant reminder that compassion knows no borders – it is something we can all extend towards our fellow human beings regardless of where they come from or what hardships they have endured.
