Our Limbo is a photo series in making in which photojournalist Nathalie portrays the psychological effects of young students leaving their hometown, forced or in free will, and the yearning and desperation they feel for their new place to feel like home.

While she mostly uses photo to tell her stories, for this project she chose to video. She gives us a glimpse of what to expect with the video of the 24 year of Sima from Damascus. Sima now lives in New York, but in an emotional video portrait she describes the extreme homesickness she feels. She tells Nathalie about the the burden of the privilege to leave a country where there is unrest and low future potential, and how blessed she should feel. However, deep inside she wants nothing more than to return to Damascus.
 
This is not the only Our Limbo project Nathalie has skillfully produced. She also depicted refugee Syrians in Beirut, and the limbo they find themselves in on a daily basis. For more touching photo series, make sure to check out her website.
