My exhibition isa homage, not only to the beauty of its people, but their invincible spirit - particularly the poor and homeless. Despite the difficult living conditions, people continue to smile, celebrate, and above all hope. Their eyes tell their enduring storyand my objective is to take it to other people around the world who can be inspired by their strength and perseverance."
