Médecins du Monde - Canada [Afghanistan]

No sooner than the moment of my arrival, I realized that the experience awaiting me, in Afghanistan, would exceed all my expectations. Even at the first sight, one could witness the abject misery of human condition. Everyday, I felt deep in my soul, the burnt of Afghans' unimaginable torment, and every moment, I saw my experience reduced to sheer anguish. During the month [March 2002] along side Médecins du Monde, I felt a sense of horrific helplessness, of which I had no previous experience. With heartfelt awareness of the gravity of my subject matter, I tried to capture the suffering of women and orphaned children. Through my lens, I struggled to document the despair of an entire society destroyed by over two decades of war. At the end of my journey to Afghanistan, I can only hope that this body of work opens a window to the lives of those devastated by injustice and violence. For the multitude of people whose voicelessness has rendered their agony mute and their ordeal silent, these photos are but a small contribution to bring us closer to them. |
