In this selection, drawn from moments of fire, flood, and fleeting joy, Lisa Sorgini’s photographs trace a portrait of our time: a time marked by environmental upheaval and the quiet, persistent efforts to protect and nurture amidst uncertainty.

Through her lens, childhood appears both vulnerable and resilient, unfolding against backdrops of scorched earth, rising waters, and skies blurred by smoke. The domestic and the wild intersect in her frames: a boy cycling through floodwater, a birthday candle glowing against encroaching darkness, a child submerged in seafoam like a figure lost to myth.

These images speak to the intimacy of climate change, to the way its consequences press in not only on landscapes but on bodies, on breath, on the fragile rituals of care. They hold the tension between beauty and ruin, between the instinct to protect and the knowledge of what lies beyond any parent's reach.

Sorgini’s photographs do not document catastrophe alone. They capture the persistence of life within it, the tenderness that insists on its place alongside fear and grief.

This is not just the story of a mother. It is the story of a world we are still trying to call home.
