Ramzan Meals Among the Ruins in Idlib: After the campaign of the Syrian regime on Idlib and the departure of the Syrian forces from the city of Nayrab, the people of the city found all its houses destroyed. That was in 2020. Neither the war nor the destruction prevented the people from holding a group breakfast, an important tradition for them during Ramzan.

Hanging Up Persimmons: Autumn on the slopes of Shanxi Province, China. The mountainous region located in the Taihang Mountains, is so cold and dry that making hanging persimmon cakes is the main source of income for local farmers. This year’s persimmons are harvested, peeled and dressed, and hung under the eaves in bunches, hoping they will bring a good price in the New Year.

In the Storm: Lap An Lagoon in Hue province in the dry season. When the water recedes, the fish are stuck in puddles and when the tide is low, people often go fishing here. When I arrived at Lap An Lagoon, the storm came. The people were very afraid of lightning, but I stayed to witness the change of the storm when Heaven and Earth seemed to be connected by wind and water.

Thankful for the Simplicity in Life: The image is taken from the visit to Shwe Gu Orphanage monastery in Old Bagan, Myanmar, in 2018. Most of these children have lost their parents and have no family. They are training to be Buddhist monks. These children have very difficult lives in a difficult place, yet they are very happy and grateful. They are thankful for the simplicity of life that they have.
