18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Corrado, 28, Siracusa

This picture is part of my project "Freedom Under Control" about the psychological aftermath of the quarantine in the young Italians. "I have never had anxieties and concerns. I felt a major change in my life that has brought a breath of positivity that I feel strongly even today. For the first time in my life I missed the sea. I’ve never had a deep connection with it, but quarantine has brought so many changes that I felt the desire to tie myself to an element like water. Suddenly it made me feel free."
