They were generous enough to share their entire work here, please check out the pictures and visit the site to read



Lonely children
Crying of hunger
Light as a feather
Fragile as glass

People afraid
to to to sleep
knowing if they
will live the next
day.

I need a friend
to hold my hand
to keep me safe.
