When I was working in the field, I brought lots of candles with me, and with the help of my interpreter, I imparted to the people I was photographing that I wanted to illuminate their stories and their plight, so when it was safe for them, and safe for me, I made these images.
Strādājot laukā, es paņēmu līdzi daudz sveču, un ar tulka palīdzību es teicu šiem cilvēkiem, kurus fotografēju, ka vēlējos izgaismot viņu stāstus un skaudro likteni, lai tad, kad būtu droši gan man, gan viņiem, es radītu šos attēlus.
