Absolutely inspired by this photograph which is just completely fantastic! [However, I purposely didn't try to exactly recreate it as I am not such a fan of photographers doing that.] Rather, I decided to put my own spin on it!
From this session.

Shadows of Hope – Artist’s Statement
Art awakens and opens our eyes. Art can act as an oracle, a prophet, or simply a provocateur. Tapping into that power is at the core of what I wanted to accomplish when I traveled to Cambodia in January of 2020. However, I didn’t want to just awaken viewers to a problem, but to offer hope as well. To accomplish this dual goal, I worked with young women who have been rescued from sex trafficking to create life-sized murals using the cyanotype photographic process. These thematic portraits of victims of human trafficking were created with their assistance and active participation. It was truly a group effort.
So, why Cambodia? Though child sex trafficking is a problem around the world, it is most prevalent in Southeast Asia. It is hard to fathom, but a 2018 report from the Global Slavery Index estimates that 261,000 people in Cambodia live in conditions of modern slavery. Of those, the number who are minors involved in sex trafficking number in the thousands. Since 2005 I have photographed for Agape International Missions (AIM) in Cambodia and financially supported their work. AIM programs prevent sex trafficking, as they simultaneously work to rescue, restore and reintegrate survivors of this horrible crime.
Though I have photographed for AIM in the past, it has been over a decade since I traveled to Cambodia. But, in the fall of 2019, God gave me a vision of creating giant murals with the assistance of the young women that AIM has rescued from human trafficking. Starting in December, I began praying and sketching what the murals might look like. Many of the murals are inspired by the book of Psalms, which often speaks of rescue and restoration, something these young women are now experiencing.
The process I utilized is called the cyanotype or blue printing process. It was invented in 1842, just three years after the announcement of photography to the world. Though cyanotype chemistry (ferric ammonium citrate and potassium ferricyanide) is most commonly coated on watercolor or printmaking papers, it also works quite well when coated on fabric, which is what I chose to work with. The fabric was precoated in California and packed into a suitcase for the long plane flight to Cambodia.
After days of preparation and teaching my collaborators the process, we began to create the large murals. I would first meet with one of several rotating groups of approximately a
dozen young women, explain the concept for the mural and show them the sketch. After inquiring about who felt inspired by the concept and wanted to participate, subject(s) were selected, and the rest of the group was given responsibilities in creating the mural. Assignments might include spreading stars, plants (or other props), moving the tent from over the mural, etc. While I was coordinating these efforts, an assistant was working in a darkened room to iron the creases out of the fabric. When the fabric was done, I would run down the hallway and out the front door. My collaborators would help me quickly spread out the fabric on a large board and then the subject(s) would take their position and props would be quickly added. Finally, the tent would be removed so that the fabric could be exposed for ten minutes in direct sunlight (twenty minutes on an overcast day). During this time, the subject(s) could not move, even though it was usually very hot. In many of the murals you will observe staining around the subject. This is a result of perspiration reacting with the cyanotype chemistry. At the end of the exposure, the tent would be placed over the fabric, the props removed and then the fabric would be processed in buckets of water.

Artistic statement
I was born and raised in a Chinese family. I always felt different from most people because of my personality and race. I lead 2 separate lives -one with my friend and the other with my family. Even when I am with my Asian friends I still feel left out. I don't know if it's because I think or act differently but I don't think friends could "always" be there for each other. I always wanted the easy way out of life but stress always gets to me. One thing helps me relieve stress is to cuddling with my cat. I adore cute things just like any other teenage girl. I like to roll with life but always have control over it.
I stress over the littlest things in life. I want to focus on just one thing at a time but also taking note of the surrounding. The macro setting is my favorite camera setting because it focuses on one thing at a time. I use it when I want to bring attention to only one thing but include everything else also. I think the macro setting is for a picture that can confuse someone on where to focus. The way you see things are also important to a person. Being able to put oneself in someone else's shoes is an important virtue. I like to see things from different perspectives because not everyone thinks the same. I think a good picture is a picture that has an angle that can bring the most emotion out of the picture.
In my traditional self-portrait I try to show how I see myself. I highly think that my cat is a big part of my life. I’ve gone through many hard times just to keep and I love it a bunch. The expression on my face shows somewhat the “weird” and “goofy” part of me. I love to joke, laugh and just relax & cuddle with my kitty. That doesn’t mean I don’t like to tease my cat.
My alter ego self-portrait brings out the love for my sister out. I love to bully her because she always responds the way I thinks she would. I never say to anyone “I love my sister” but I think my actions speak louder than words. You can also see from the choice of clothing that I like to wear bright colors with ridiculous earrings. I think earrings show a big part of someone. I like to wear dangly and hoop earring and sometimes it shows me how “bossy” I am. I admit I’m somewhat a control freak.
I was totally drooling over this, yet another awesome pattern from Goodknits. I would really like to add some flowers eventually, but I am just enjoying the wreath itself right now.

Though I was approaching with sadness at the loss of the Occupy camps I saw two men carrying very big black & white flags through the sidewalks between the two parks.
I was very happy to see them and hope more will do the same.
Another message from the artist James De La Vega, written on the sidewalk. This one is a bit more difficult to see in the photo. It reads, "Slavery has yet to perish -De La Vega" - it's a message I haven't seen from him before, and it's uncharacteristically grim. Many of his more recent messages have seemed that way.
I came upon this one when it was fresh. I had walked down this way a few hours earlier, and it had been devoid of messages. Setting up this shot had the usual challenges of framing, but I also wanted to incorporate something that would give a feel for the city environment that the message was in. I was pleased with a few that included joggers and bikers near the message, but then I saw a dog walker who had just gone to a water fountain with his dog. (At this particular fountain, there was an additional fountain near the bottom for the dog to drink from and splash in.) They began to walk in the direction of the message, and the rest was a matter of timing.
While I do not intend for this to be a statement equating pets with slavery, it seemed rather fitting to have this unenthusiastic-looking dog getting tugged along on a leash, stepping over the chalk words.

I feel like I was trying to hard on this, the composition feels a little off to me and normally that's something that comes pretty naturally. Sometimes when I work on something I feel like is "for real" (i.e., not just messing around) I lose the spirit of the work.
This is Dennis and Robin. I asked them for a portrait when I met them in Handen yesterday, only to realise that I had already met and photographed Dennis before. So here are a few facts about his friend Robin.He is originally from Malmö. These days Robin lives at Spånga. He works a a bartender here and there. On his free time he plays soccer (wing back), in a korp league team called Last Minute United.

British MPs accuse Iraqi PM of "Gestapo-style massacre" at Camp Ashraf. London, 27.04.2011
Lord Corbett of Castle Vale addresses the press conference with an opening statement before showing the first video footage.
-------------------------
MPs and Peers today accused Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of committing a completely unprovoked "Gestapo-style massacre" of defenceless, unarmed Iranian refugees at Camp Ashraf which led to the death of 35 Iranian dissidents and hundreds injured.
At today's press conference in Parliament, the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom disclosed shocking, graphic new video footage of the 8 April attack showing direct shooting at camp residents, the Iraqi police and army personnel carrying out this indiscriminate slaughter, and the various military weaponry used.
Committee chair Lord Corbett of Castle Vale (Labour Peer), said: "The attack on Camp Ashraf was an organised military massacre on the orders of Nuri al-Maliki who is publicly committed to erasing the camp from the face of the earth".
Medical practitioner Hoda Hosseini pointed to photographic evidence of the injuries sustained by the wounded which clearly indicated that a targeted shoot-to-kill policy was used by Iraqi forces. "Traces left in the bodies of those killed and the wounded, and a study of the wounds and X-Rays show that the Iraqi forces used automatic Kalashnikov machineguns with live, tracer and armour-piercing bullets as well as firing sonic grenades directly at the heads and chests of the civilian population at Camp Ashraf".
Former Home Secretary Lord Waddington demanded a UN investigation into the attack to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice, while Lord Maginnis of Drumglass said: "Prime Minister Cameron and President Barack Obama must use the appropriate language in describing this attack as a massacre".
Mark Williams MP (Liberal Democrat) demanded that Iraqi forces immediately withdraw from Camp Ashraf and that the United Nations take over protection of the camp as part of their mandate.
Malcolm Fowler, a solicitor and member of the Law Society's human rights committee, said that the Law Society, which represented more than 130,000 solicitors, had issued a statement urging the UN to help protect the residents.
Pointing to video footage evidencing the continued menacing presence of Iraqi armed forces in and around Camp Ashraf, Lord Corbett on behalf of the Committee urged the UN to establish a permanent monitoring team at the camp and take over responsibility for protection of the residents to prevent a further such "Gestapo-style massacre". "These are without doubt crimes against humanity" he stated.
Camp Ashraf, 60km north-east of Baghdad, is home to 3,400 members of the main Iranian opposition group, the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI), who are "protected persons" under the 4th Geneva Convention. They fled Iran to escape the theocratic regime which has ordered the arrest, torture and execution of over 200,000 Iranian dissidents over the last thirty-two years.
