More Than One Anchor ..

 

This is a poignant photo-essay dedicated to exploring the multifaceted experiences of migrants living in exile. This project seeks to visually narrate the emotional and psychological landscapes of individuals who are navigating the profound identity shifts that accompany life away from their homeland. 

 

Through a series of intimate portraits, candid street photography, and evocative imagery, the essay will capture the duality of the migrant experience—highlighting moments of cultural shock, adaptation, and the often unseen resilience that underpins their journey. Each photograph will serve as a window into the lives of those who grapple with the tension between preserving their roots and embracing a new culture, illustrating how they cultivate a new sense of belonging while honouring their past.

 

The project aims to showcase the endurance and tenacity displayed by migrants, revealing their ability to create multiple anchors in a world that often feels fragmented. By shedding light on the complexities of their identities, "More Than One Anchor" will challenge stereotypes, foster empathy, and invite viewers to reconsider the narratives surrounding migration. Through this visual exploration, we strive to connect audiences with the stories of hope, struggle, and triumph that define the migrant experience, ultimately showcasing the beauty in their dual narratives and the strength found in community and resilience.
