entry description
The 8-part series is a dedication to the children of war, born in war, having to endure a war, or losing their lives due to war. The children portrayed in the images are constrained by a white shroud, their ability to bloom hindered. Their beauty and innocence are laced with sorrow, because their existence has become muted and endangered, and their fragility is palpable. The delicate white little flowers that adorn their hair are called “Narcissus”. Despite their fragile nature, they grow and flourish in the meadows and forests at the end of winter amidst harsh conditions and as such give hope for the Spring that is to come. Narcissus is a symbol of rebirth and a new beginning and the series is a silent prayer for peace.about the photographer
