UNHCR "WAITING..."

UNHCR “Waiting….” Photos and Concept by Paula Dias Leite At the beginning: a new word for many; soon, a dream and the only hope refugees can afford. The one word that matters to most of them; the only way out; the answer to erase the word “refugee” from their memories and their identity. An obsession … A synonym of “future” and “dignity” that may become a cause for insomnia, anxiety, stress, distress, anger, and a deep feeling of abandonment.
