In a world of constant connectivity, we are seeing an alarming trend among countries who are alienating migrants geographically, socially, and politically.

Refugees inhabit a space that exists somewhere between the past and the present; the foreign and the familiar; turbulence and stability. Our series of photographs highlights some of these existing juxtapositions, while capturing the varying lenses through which refugees and migrants are viewed.
