Working with the constantly evolving refugee crisis in Western Tanzania, I was intrigued by what, if anything you were able to carry when fleeing violence and seeking shelter for you and your loved ones in a new country.
Setting up a makeshift backdrop in the camp, I started taking portraits of family groups as they arrived to register. These individuals and family groups had fled their homes, escaping violence and saving what, if anything, they could carry as they went. This portrait series documents who and what people managed to save while they were fleeing for their lives.
