The dinner of a Kurdish family traveling for 4 years. Lesvos, Athens, Albania, Macedonia, Serbia and Bosnia: a long journey for the 19 people who make up the family, with the hope of arriving in Germany. The photo was taken on the border between Bosnia and Croatia, the night before crossing the border, in a mountain refuge in an area full of anti-personnel mines from the Balkan war. The light recalls that of Caravaggio's "The Calling of Saint Matthew" and is composed only of the light of smartphones.
