Recalling the Importance of Gathering Together

© Giorgia Bisanti

If the pandemic has reminded us of the importance of loved ones, the images of PhEST's open call #ReunionCalling represent a splendid interpretation of the importance of those bonds that develop throughout the course of a lifetime and that acquire value over time. A time that in these images seems suspended between past and future and makes us reflect on our values, on what is really important. The images I have chosen among all the submissions have this capacity for synthesis and a particular aura that helps us reconnect with our most intimate memories and feelings. For this reason, they deserve to be watched carefully and shared, hoping they can inspire a change both on a collective level and in our hectic daily life that is getting closer and closer.
