This book is a photographer’s search for meaning and meaningful photographs. I worked with the Nget family from May 2018 until November 2019.  In four tours we established a connection and an understanding despite cultural differences.

 

My biggest concern was how to make photographs that would pay respect to their lives. They had only their memories of the lost family members, they had memories of the violence that were too harsh to let in, let alone to talk. Once Khun Ann had told her story to me and he’d let me make photo’s of her doing so, I had a start. I brought back a first draft of some kind of photo book. Once shown to family members, they opened up to each other and started sharing memories.
