“What makes an image unexpected? Lately a scarcity of layers in our way of thinking and a general reluctance to adopt nuance as a valid approach to understanding this world is suffocating a range of possibilities, in which we, as humans, could be giving the best of ourselves. A better understanding of context and motivation is more necessary than ever if we want to interrogate who we are and what we do, but also in order to avoid the Manichean hordes that divide public opinion into black and white. The year 2020 saw world-changing events that reminded us of the value of life and the fragility of the cultural constructions in which we live. If we limit ourselves to what we already know and to what we already expect, everything will stagnate forever. It is clear that the strength for questioning and improving our society does not come from those who believe in the idea of right and wrong, but from those who go beyond and challenge any classification.”
