Human life, Politics and Social issues

This Gallery is meant to capture human life. By human life, I mean how local people live. It also captures politics, protest and historical events that I have witnessed when traveling. I witnessed the 2016 Exodus of Syrian refugees which I will not show most pictures of for ethical reasons. I witnessed protests before regime changes in more than one country. I witnessed Turkey before and after the failed coup and watched it change. It also shows street art and objects and scenery that show something related to humanity. the aim was to capture a human element of travel and how it can educate on the conditions of the world.
