قصة صغيرة

Fernando Maquieira, the Spanish photographer, is a master at capturing beauty in the everyday, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

A tiny story brings the microscopic world of ants to a human scale. A combination of written language and imagery that vividly narrates these tiny creatures adventure. The photographs acted as an inspiration for the narrative and are presented separately, creating a mechanism for multiple interpretations. 

Ant Lea ventures out of the anthill for the first time with a group of companions in search of food, but what should have been a simple, routine mission turns into an odyssey. Taken by surprise by an army of enemy ants, and in the chaos of battle, Lea gets lost in an unknown place.

Alone and disoriented, she doesn't know how to return to the anthill. She finds herself wandering in a strange world that she must learn to inhabit and understand. It's time for Lea to grow up.
