Here’s a short quote extracted and adapted from the text:
“Julia Gat has captured, as she knows so well how to do, familiar and often youthful portraits: light moments of laughter, a jump, an escape, a strand of hair being wrung out, but also lost gazes toward the open sea, toward this Mediterranean, Mare Internum, where everyone, according to their own story, can project themselves.”
