Description
P. STAN (Pazhwaak Stan, meaning “voice”) contains a selection of photographs captured in Pakistan (2023) to document the reality of the country and the system dictating it during that period.
Pakistan is positioned at the crossroads of the Middle East and South Asia. Much like many of its neighbours, Pakistan is portrayed in Western media as a red zone. This is due to natural disasters, infrequent terrorist attacks and corruption. This has inevitably shaped the way of life for its nationals.
The risk associated with Pakistan led me to question how that risk plays into daily life. The answer I got gave me insight into a mentality faced in not knowing what the future holds.
These pictures document the people and places that answered that question.
This selection forms part of a wider series documenting the Stan countries.
