I Stay Here

I Stay Here it's a photographic project that focuses on the immigration issue concerning youth coming from the south of Italy, which is a problem that still persists in those regions. High unemployment level, organized criminality conspiracy of silence and a forma mentis reluctant to a change, are some of the reasons for which, even nowadays, all the seeds, represented by the youth, are uprooted from their soil and forced to move towards the north of Italy or abroad. Photography thus therefore, represents the catalyst of the willingness of change that those youth aspire at. Youth are willing to grow up flourishing so to develop roots that go deep into their native "soil", and, therefore, to be, once in full growth strong and proud just as the trees are in all their freedom and strength. They want to know that the products of their challenge will be their best guarantee for future generations. Choose to stay so to be an example. Fight organized criminality, over come conspiracy silence. Choose to stay so to give hope. It is for this reason, therefore, that IO RESTO QUI – I stay here
