Survival in the midst of hardship

"Survival in the Heart of Hardship" Photo Collection

The photo series "Survival in the Heart of Hardship" was recorded in the winter of 1404 at a waste recycling center in Alborz Province, Iran. This series narrates the lives of workers and children who start their day by searching through piles of garbage, separating and preparing recyclable materials, and continue to work in a corrosive and polluted environment until the end of the day. These images show a daily struggle for survival and the concept of resilience. They reinterpret the resilience in difficult circumstances through the reality of these people's lives
