THE  FOOD PROJECT

 

“The trees in the mountains are in bloom. The peaceful sight of the flowers is an odd contrast to the bombs falling in their background.” (6)

 

Food brings memories from cherished moments with loved ones back to life again. It is a way for man to gather, celebrate and connect. My purpose of this project was to show every detail of Syria, a country where cherished moments and loved ones have become merely memories of tragedies. Therefore, with this food project, I connect you to the people and their stories. The laughter and the tears. The achievements and the losses. The flowers and the bombs.

 

To the families I had the privilege to meet, to Volkert Engelsman and his team at Eosta, to the team at Fingerprints of Syria, to the fathers, mothers, sons and daughters who shared their stories, my dad who traveled with me and my family that supported me,

 

Thank you,
