Photograph of part of Nok family on the mirror of her sister salon.
Approximately 214 million people in the world are international migrants. Whether by choice or by necessity, people are travelling outside of their home country to access higher income, basic services and improved prospects for their family. This ongoing project explores the impact of migration on the family unit.
Nok is one of the many migrants living away from her family and culture in order to improve the quality of life of her loved ones who remain behind. Nok single mother, is a hairdresser by profession and has worked in Dili since April 2006. After three years of absence from home, Nok went back to Udon Thani (Thailand) in September 2009. It was a short visit because she had to go back to Dili to work.

I believe that the commentary of human experience can ideally be shared through the medium of photography and I strive to create work that informs the social conscience.
