The April 2015 Nepal Earthquake
Their gazes are forever etched in my memory. Their gentle, deeply felt gratitude expressed for the people who came to try to help is on repeat in my mind. The unshakable faith and strength they emitted, in the most dire of situations, is unforgettable in and of itself.
This is part of an ongoing personal project exploring light in darkness, faith, and community. My heart goes out to all the victims of this devastation, and those still struggling and displaced in its aftermath.
Namaste, Nepal.
