If
seeing the images on news TV isn't bad enough, the moment we walked inside the
Marawi siege’s 'ground zero’, reality shook me real bad. Tilted buildings
plastered with bullet and rocket holes, homes beyond recognition and personal
stuff strewn on the road—clothes, suitcases, stuffed toys—left by fleeing
civilians, are too much to process. Outside ground zero, we met some survivors eager
to tell their stories. After losing everything, all they have now are narratives
of survival. I took a few photos and with each click of my camera, I feel the
grim scenes stabbing my heart.
Postcard Series is a digital throwback to the good ole days of sending postcards to your
love ones back home. It consist of a single photograph and a brief narrative of
less than 100 words.
