Instagram post 2273495536676069362_21604660 Two AM masquerades as 2PM in the perpetual grey of summer far above the Arctic Circle, and I’m fascinated by the pattern of raindrops on my window, floating as galaxies in a universe of their own.

Instagram post 2272056574338059786_21604660 Kind of at a loss of what to post here now. Everything past seems irrelevant, especially the fashion work. Have decided to focus on the little pieces of heaven I’ve encountered around the globe, whether in places or in people, and follow their light to a place where humans and nature exist in balance and harmony. I believe this state of being - not elsewhere - is where heaven lives, waiting for us to rejoin her. Mrauk U, Rakhine State, Myanmar 2015 #nature #planetearth #harmony #balance

Instagram post 2241567928279448754_21604660 Yazidi child in her makeshift refugee home a few kilometers from the Syrian (Rojava) border of Iraqi Kurdistan. Her father and older brother are missing and presumably executed by ISIS, her teenage sister held a captive slave by ISIS for three years (with all the horror that entails) only to die in her mother’s arms three days after ransom was paid for her release. Her youth will be spent here in limbo, in hiding with her mother and remaining young brother. Identity withheld on request for fear of reprisal from ISIS.

Instagram post 2172725995659016089_21604660 Faint flames pierced through the misty darkness of the pre-dawn landscape as we jolted along the road to the Yazidi Lalish Temple. The sun had somewhere risen, but chose not to shine on this abandoned piece of earth nestled in Iraqi Kurdistan near Syria and Turkey. Slaughtered, enslaved, and hunted by ISIS, the Yazidi escaped their latest attempt at annihilation through the courage of the Kurdish Peshmerga, PKK, and YPG/J fighters, who in 2014 demonstrated what courage and standing by your allies truly means by rescuing them on Mount Sinjar, while the world stood by and watched. That morning, the flickering flames reminded me how even small actions of individuals with integrity can guide the way through darkness.

Instagram post 2057489430391249925_21604660 Missing the road, so here’s one of Petra’s Royal Tombs from 2017. Got ‘lost’ before sunrise deep down the side Bedouin trails which melt far off the main path, weaving up steep plateaus and down deep ravines to kiss carved temples and tombs littered with pottery shards and faded remnants of paintings, with dusky chambers leading to deeper pitch-black chambers hewn out of the earth, until finally wandering my way back out through the Siq in solitude accompanied by the brilliant light of a full midnight moon and thousands of years of ghosts slipping through time to join me in my steps. #travel #travelphotography #letsgetlost

Instagram post 2042467320790962868_21604660 A worn-out woman pulls me into her dirt-floor shack and shows me pictures of her missing family; her young son begs me to find them. Her hands are swollen and worn, fingers knotted and full of muscles from years of hard work. Larger and thicker than my own. These are what a mother’s hands look like, I thought. Hands that have birthed children and cradled dying ones. Hands that toil for her children’s survival from first light to last. And inside these hands, a soft heart breaks for her lost and stolen ones who in all their strength they weren’t able to save. I know they are no longer - once ISIS takes someone, chances of return are slim. But hope is all she has left. I lie and assure her I will try. Unofficial refugee camp near Dohuk, Iraq.

Instagram post 2041838975254352873_21604660 I climbed through bent barbed wire to the field outside the camp - a taste of their version of freedom. Slushing through the slippery mud and weeds I felt a small hand nestle into mine, and an arm wrap around my leg. Looking down I found this one, and we gazed back upon her home for a moment together. For me, a memory and a photo. For her, her today, yesterday, and tomorrow. Domiz 1 Refugee Camp, Iraq March,2019
