Roberto Pazzi | An Exclusive Interview
"Every face becomes a narrative, shaped by life, memory, and context, and photography becomes a form of exchange between two human trajectories."

Thibault Gerbaldi | The Island of Offerings
Across Sri Lanka, faith is lived through ritual, discipline, gesture, and place. This series moves from young Buddhist novice monks in Galle to candlelit temple rituals near Kataragama and a natural cave used as a monastery.
Ora Buerkli | Expression of Devotion

Aga Szydlik | Voodoo: The Living Spirit of Benin
To witness a Voodoo ceremony is to stand at the threshold between worlds.
A lwa descends. It enters a human body — what practitioners call “riding” — and the person is no longer fully themselves. Eyes roll back. Movement becomes convulsive and wild. Words emerge that no one around them understands. The boundary between the living and the invisible has dissolved, if only for a moment.
Gabi Steiner | Where Stone Still Prays
The Rock-Hewn Churches of Lalibela show the deep history and spiritual life of Ethiopia. There are eleven churches, each carved from volcanic rock, in the western Ethiopian Highlands near Lalibela. King Gebre Meskel Lalibela of the Zagwe dynasty had them built to recreate Jerusalem in his own land. Today, the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Church still uses these churches, and they remain important pilgrimage sites. In 1978, UNESCO added the site to its World Heritage List to recognize its cultural and historical value.

Inger Vandyke | Faith
Faith is the unwavering belief and deep trust in something beyond concrete evidence. It is a guiding principle that provides purpose, shapes human values, and acts as an anchor during times of uncertainty, whether directed toward a higher power, humanity, or one's own inner resilience.
Haris Kakarouhas | The Path Within
"I am not interested in documenting religion as an external phenomenon or describing different doctrines. What moves me is the shared human longing for transcendence; the desire to approach the Ineffable, to stand for a moment before something greater than oneself."
