Each photograph is a testament to the human spirit's enduring resilience, inviting readers to bear witness to both the beauty and brutality of the human experience. This is a honest and beautiful book but hard to look at, hard to digest, and very hard to forget, which explores the complicated relationship between photographer and subject. Highly recommended!
