Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Anastasia Taylor-Lind about her work Welcome to Donetsk for a feature I am working on for New Zealand Pro Photographer magazine.
Anastasia instructed me that while she was in Kiev, Ukraine she started out thinking about how people are portrayed in wartime.
How you lose your identification, are stripped of being who you are - a female friend, sister, creator, photographer.
Instead you are labelled a refugee, you turn out to be collateral damage, a sufferer, a made from battle.
I found her words truely profound and I desire as you look at these pictures you notice past the label "refugee" to the character and imagine how their lives were irrevocably modified through battle, changed with the aid of an occasion in which they'd no element, however which has rocked them to their core.
You also can watch this video on Al Jazeera wherein "refugees" speak about how they experience approximately that word and what it manner to them.
It's time the media started the usage of a different language, one which recognises the man or woman, one that remembers we are speaking about humans, one that suggests appreciate and compassion.
Let's flow the communication.
