Seidou en quête d'asile #[nn]

A striking overhead view fills this 2021 Steinkis release, depicting a crowd of figures seated in close proximity — heads bowed, arms crossed, each absorbed in quiet waiting — while one man, Seidou, sits at the center looking directly outward with calm resolve. The spare blue-and-white palette by Xavier Bétancourt and Virginie Vidal gives the image a contemplative, almost documentary stillness that immediately conveys the weight of seeking asylum. It's a visually thoughtful work that invites readers into an urgent human story.
