Age

The skin is the most genuine record of our existence. With every passing age, the skin adds a wrinkle like an evidence of what has happened. This series of photographs focuses on the story of the 1971 Bangladeshi immigrants. It looks closer at their skin to unfold their plight from one country to the other. Most of them, who are now in their 60s, were 10 years old when they had to escape from their country. Now, in a post-retirement life, they face new challenges. Sometimes it is cancer, sometimes it is the fear of isolation.

In the words of the woman photographed, "My whole life has been one big escape!"
