A simple story, one of those that increasingly convince me that it is not necessary to cross the world to tell through images, but often without realizing it the images are waiting for us behind the house or at the park on Sunday while we walk carefree, just knowing how to grasp them , it is enough to lose that semi-blindness, which allows us to see without, however, observing what has probably been calling us to if for some time. This photographic series shows us Sandra, I can't tell you much about her because I don't know her well and it's probably not that important, it is true, that is she cheered for two years every morning my short trip that goes, from where I park the car to the editorial office where I work.

But for me San-dra Victoire is also Sandra's victory, I like to think so. Every day she waits for the meal at the municipal canteen and despite the adversity she is always there, ready to smile at life and love, just like the winners do ...
