“Yet these photographs do not represent the palpable signs of a catastrophe. No spectacle. What they try to show is first and foremost the intensity of an encounter, between a person and a person, between a person and their environment, between a shell and a hand, between the blur of a flower and a smile. It’s also about the way in which disaster can act as a revealing force on people, who then seem to reappear in the world, here with grace. While everything collapses. While everything goes on.” – Elodie Royer
