Private Story
Lucas
But just a few days after Lucas birth, news about Coronavirus started to pop in the media. Slowly at the beginning, as it was just non relevant but sad news from other parts of the world, but then becoming an unbearable stream of cases and government measures in my country.
This virus spread has suddenly become the most important fact on earth possibly since World War II. Everybody is sadly affected in one or other way. Me, I am worried about my mum and dad who are old, but also about other family members and friends, as certainly everybody is. Personally, my wife is ok and Lucas is ok, and that is the most important thing for me.
Regarding this series about his birth, I wanted to show these images, as they represent for me a bigger and warmer reality than the one I see everywhere I look now. Every time I look at the baby, I see a him as the future and I forget about the news. That makes me regain peace. He is here, and he will be here after the virus. Love is the key of life. We need to release the pressure. The hope that every birth brings is much more important than what is happening in the world now. We will beat the virus, our life will continue, remembering us about the real things that matter most in life, and hopefully helping the planet grow again once this episode ends.
