A Living Statue
$3,750
In Chiang Mai, Thailand, the Long Neck Tribe people, refugees from Myanmar, grapple with a disheartening paradox. Having fled one troubling place, only to find themselves in another—constrained and on display for profit, akin to a human zoo. This poignant image captures a tribe member adorned in traditional attire, with a stoic gaze that reveals a hidden narrative of captivity, exploitation, and the erosion of the human spirit. It serves as a somber reminder of the harrowing challenges faced by marginalized communities, compelling us to introspect on the core values and ethics that define our apparent shared humanity.
