Nancy Borowick

For many of us, access to clean, safe water is a turn-of-the-tap away. It’s easy to take this life-giving, life-sustaining gift for granted but 2.2 billion people around the world are not as lucky and are at great risk, every day, of illness, disease and death because of the contaminated water. Photography is a powerful tool and through storytelling, photographs can create empathy, awareness, and become a catalyst for meaningful change.

Angelo Ferrillo e Sara Rossatelli
Italy

Sara is photographer and interior designer, Angelo is photoreporter, photoeditor, professor of photography and engineering. A couple of documentarist and life partners, an unique duo in our jury team.

Water is a natural oxymoron. It muffles and resounds, it is one and there are many.
Its transparency preserves the colors of the rainbow and its light and perpetual caress leaves traces of its presence.
Capable of shaping massive surfaces and spreading life, each drop is the mirror of wonderful worlds.

One day we will really realize how important it was to study from an early age that we are made of 60% water.
That day we will probably understand how stupid we were to underestimate the importance of that teaching.

The sea is what water means to me, a magnificent liquid, the sky's mirror. I live on an island, embraced by this immense element, changing, unstoppable, capable of instilling serenity but commanding respect, both gentle and mighty. From the transparency of the surface to its dark depths, it is like the human soul
