Description

Alixandra Fazzina's powerful photography chronicles the perilous journey of desperate emigrants from Somalia to the Arabian Peninsula. With a one in twenty chance of not making it to the other side alive, these individuals risk their lives for just $50, or one million Somali shillings. Fazzina's work focuses on under-reported conflicts and the often forgotten humanitarian consequences of war. Her two-year project to document the exodus of migrants and refugees from Somalia is a testament to her dedication to humanistic photography. This book presents a poignant and thought-provoking account of one of the most pressing humanitarian crises of our time. Alixandra Fazzina's photographs have been widely recognized for their impact, including being a finalist in the Care Award for Humanitarian Reportage and the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography.
