Silhouettes of Labor – Light Through the Shadows

Captured during the event “Abruzzo on the Road with Leica and Stefano Schirato,” this atmospheric black-and-white photograph depicts a solitary figure silhouetted in a dark corridor, illuminated by a bright frame of light at the far end. The reflective wet floor and the worker’s poised stance with a hose in hand create a scene steeped in quiet determination and resilience. The stark contrast between light and shadow highlights the dignity of labor in the hidden spaces of Abruzzo.
