Luce Condivisa interprets the 2007 enlargement of the European Union as a moment of transition between visibility and recognition.
The figures emerge from the shadows, illuminated by a warm, concentrated light. It is not a uniform light: it is direction, it is possibility. It illuminates faces and gestures, making visible what was previously marginalized. The encounter occurs in the space between darkness and light—a subtle boundary that becomes crossable. It is not just about entry, but about mutual recognition.
The work portrays integration as a human and symbolic process: being seen, being welcomed, entering a shared space without losing one's identity. Europe appears here as a place where light does not belong to a few, but extends, including new perspectives and new presences.
