Teardrops for Freedom, 2014
Falling from the leaves, these raindrops are bringing life into the land.
Every raindrop that falls from me, without taking in a breath of air, offers me the ability to continue a life without pain.
A life without torture!
In the online exhibit Picturing a New Life in Chicago, people who were forced to flee their home countries because of war, persecution or violence share photos and inspiring stories about adjusting to a new life here. Some of the photographers came to Chicago through a refugee resettlement program. Others sought political asylum. Learn more in Online Exhibit: Forced Migration Photovoice Project.
