“I’m interested in people who have fallen victim to superior forces, people caught up in torment that exceeds them, people who are the greatest losers of history,” says the photographer. “Their only crime was being born in the wrong place. It’s made me ponder the question: Should we just say ‘You were born in a poor and crappy country and your life is doomed to failure,’ or is there a way out? I try to keep hope alive.”
