You
Uswa Iqbal
"You," is meant to demonstrate different forms of shelter for the subjects. For the child, it's her mother; for the mother, it's her religion. Shelter here is not necessarily a place, rather it's someone or something that brings peace and ease to the heart. Perhaps for the healthcare provider viewing this image, medicine or the possibility of cure is shelter.
