Moonsilver is a photography series by Yannis Davy Guibinga merging colorful photography and fictional storytelling. In this tale, two mermaids emerge from the depths to grace the shore of a secluded village in western Africa.
Through a blend of mythology and real lived experiences, "Moonsilver" invites the viewers in a world where femininity, queerness and the allure of folklore merge. As the mermaids navigate their newfound realm, their journey becomes an exploration of identity, liberation and the fluidity of existence.
"Moonsilver" challenges societal norms and invites audiences to reimagine traditional narratives surrounding femininity and mythological figures. "Moonsilver" illuminates the intersectionality of identity, inviting viewers to embrace the complexity of their own narratives and celebrate the beauty of diversity in all its forms.
