TITLE: Dancing Shadows

At day's end, a playground transforms into a captivating scene of organized chaos. The low golden light casts the lively play of children and the water's mist into a mesmerizing array of dancing shadows. Amidst this orchestrated disorder, metallic sculptures emerge, blurring the lines between human and art, where the boundaries between reality and sculpture become beautifully intertwined.

AUTHOR: Thibault Gerbaldi (United States)

As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes.

Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need.
Through the sale of books and prints, I aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by communities in developing countries and contribute to meaningful projects.
Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me.

As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes.

Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need.
Through the sale of books and prints, I aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by communities in developing countries and contribute to meaningful projects.

I have self-published three books over the last three years. Each book, including "Crossroads" on Ethiopia explores different corners of the globe, from the deserts of Namibia to the icy landscapes of Greenland, capturing the unique essence of each destination through my lens.

Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me.

Currently, I am immersed in a new project titled "Faces of Peru," partly focusing on the "la Sagrada Familia" orphanage in Ventanillas.
