Overview
Laila Standing, Jordan, 2024 (Chapter IV from the series The Day May Break)
Laila Standing, Jordan, 2024 (Chapter IV from the series The Day May Break)
The Echo of Our Voices is the fourth chapter of the series The Day May Break. It was photographed in Jordan, which is considered the second most water-scarce country in the world. The photographs feature refugee families, who fled the war in Syria and are now living in Jordan. Living lives of continuous displacement largely due to climate change, they are forced to move their homes up to several times a year, moving to where there is available agricultural work, to wherever there has been sufficient rainfall to enable crops to grow.
 
This chapter is very different to the previous chapters, both visually and emotionally: a show of connection and strength in the face of adversity, that when all else is lost you still have each other. The stacks of boxes that the families sit and stand together on aim skyward - a verticality implying more sense of strength or defiance - and provide pedestals for those that in our society are typically unseen and unheard.

The exhibition is part of a photography project The Day May Break, organised in cooperation with Cankarjev dom.
