'The street vendor'. Displacement deprives individuals of any kind of security, forcing the vulnerable to claim a home wherever fate throws them. On a beach east of Athens, a Senegalese migrant works as a street vendor, navigating the precarious limits of survival. This portrait reflects a life trapped between the homeland she was forced to flee and a host society that relegates her to the margins of undocumented labor, testing her mettle and her resilience, while redefining the meaning of belonging. Her home is found within her enduring dignity, her only sovereign territory highlighting the global struggle of migrants who carry their identity as their only remaining shelter.
