A SHATTERED COUNTRY:

Nepal can get under your skin - the chaos, poetry and its sweet tea runs through my veins. It has for years. My trip to cover the after-effects of the devastating earthquake in early 2015 was a – ultimately - personal one. The poetry I had always encountered during my time there had a sad and somber tone this time. But despite the disaster and, in and amongst the collapsed buildings, is a resilience and hope that, frankly, didn't surprise me.

This collection of images is a journal of sorts, and the beginning of a longer body of work from the country.
