Some wounds refuse to heal.

This work began with the story of children who never made it home.

Their absence lingers, not only in their families, but in the quiet corners of our collective memory.

 

As time passed, the tragedy began to fade from public attention.

But I believe photography resists forgetting—

that it can hold onto what history lets slip away.

 

Through images, objects, and acts of remembrance,

I sought not to speak for the grieving,

but to stand beside them.

To ask how memory becomes responsibility,

and how we carry what should never be lost.
