Title: I don't recognize me in the shadows
Description: Thana Faroq is a Yemeni documentary photographer, storyteller, and educator who left her warn-torn homeland to seek asylum in the Netherlands. Her work mirrors her life and provides a visual echo of her voice as she gracefully negotiates themes of memory, boundaries, and violence. Faroq has a unique approach to working with her subjects, in that she regularly returns to them to continue sharing their journey. Many of these migrant, stateless individuals were with Faroq during her transitional period. 'I Don't Recognize Me in the Shadows', her first book, traces her journey and explores how everything happened: the war, the escape, the transition, and the unfamiliar.
