‘On the way back from a picnic to one of the uninhabited small islands around Pingelap with all the children of the one school of the island. The bay is now protected, islanders are no longer allowed to fish for turtles. Because of the infrared colours, the scene looks very romantic. At the same time, there’s the visual connotation of the boats full of refugees setting off for a better future.’ All photographs: Sanne De Wilde
