Photo by @magnuswennman It was exactly five years ago today that I took this picture of Lamar, five years old, on the border between Serbia and Hungary. Hungary had just closed its border with a five-meter-high iron gate. Thousands of refugees trying to reach northern Europe were stopped. I remember this moment so clearly. Lamar slept in a forest area between the highway and a large grass field. The blanket over her was similar to one I have at home. Her family was sitting under a tree a few meters away, and her grandmother smiled as I approached. She told me that it was a bomb that changed everything. The family was on their way to buy food when it was dropped close to their house in Baghdad. “It was not possible to live there anymore,” she said. After two attempts to cross the sea from Turkey in a small rubber boat, they succeeded—making it as far as Hungary, then finding a closed border.

This picture is part of my story “Where the children sleep,” which has been published and exhibited around the world in recent years. To see the full project, go to the link in my personal bio. All income from this project is donated to UNHCR.
