Summary
My photographic project delves into the everyday lives, lifestyles, and evolving self-identities of this younger Rwandan generation. By capturing their unique perspectives and experiences, I aim to shed light on the resilience and creativity of these young people, as they forge a new path in a society still healing from the scars of its tragic history.
