Nick Brandt: The Echo Of Our Voices

The fourth chapter of the celebrated series The Day May Break by the renowned photographer Nick Brandt. The Echo of our Voices is the fourth chapter of The Day May Break, Nick Brandt's global series portraying people and animals impacted by climate change and environmental degradation. The series was photographed in Jordan, one of the most water-scarce countries in the world. It features rural Syrian refugee families currently living there, whose lives have been seriously impacted by droughts intensified by climate change. Living lives of continuous displacement, they are forced to move their homes up to several times a year, moving to where there is available agricultural work, to wherever there has been sufficient rainfall to enable crops to grow. The photographs show the families' connection and strength in the face of adversity, that when all else is lost you still have each other. The boxes on which the families gather aim skyward, pedestals for those that in our society are typically unseen and unheard.

Ideal for readers interested in photography.
