TITLE: Face of Displacement
The Rohingya are a Muslim minority from western Myanmar (Burma) who have been forced to flee violence and persecution for years. Many crossed into Bangladesh, where they now live in large refugee camps. Conditions there are very hard. Schooling, healthcare, and stable work are limited, and for most people life is really just about surviving from day to day. This photo of a boy was taken in the Kutupalong refugee camp in Bangladesh, one of the largest refugee camps in the world, now home to around 700,000 people. I was there. I walked through the camp and saw what everyday life looks like in that place. It stays with me.
AUTHOR: Artur Gutowski (Poland)
I am a photographer from a small town called Elk in north-east Poland. I craft visually expressive and emotionally immersive narratives.
I hold a Master degree in photography and cinematography from Polish National Film School.
After visiting many countries in four continents, visiting the most interesting places, I have been sharing my experience with those who also have a desire to explore the world and to share stories about forgotten people and places.
Those adventures also brought many challenges into my life and had a strong impact on my health and how I see life at the moment - this is the price sometimes we have to pay for our dreams and goals. They broke me and built me stronger again.
My life is like this photo, full of people, diversities, different emotions but always reaching my destination.
