Series of photos: Nairobi: Face to Face
Set in Kenya and focused on two neighbourhoods in Nairobi: Kibera and Umoja.
Ambra is interested in the profound cultural and identity changes that occur in our contemporary world. She set out to investigate the roots of social structural issues that Kenya is now facing and how this is influenced by its economic system.
Most of this work focuses on candid shots of individuals related to their environment, showing all those intimate moments that are part of the everyday life and which reveal the bond that exists between a person and their life in the slums.
