This project as a whole is a representation of how the Philippines Is coping after Yolanda 'The typhoon that hit in November 2013' . All images in the body of work are taken on Bantayan island, an island over which the eye of the storm passed and where over 80% of infrastructure has been completely destroyed.
-
During my time in the Philippines I worked closely with PAH (Polish Humanitarian Action) & YPDR (Young Pioneer Disaster Response). The intended purpose of this work is a full scale exhibition held in Bristol & London thats objective is to raise money for me to send back to these organisations who have already built over 600 houses alongside sustaining many other livelihood projects. If you have the time go and see what they are all about.

This work will eventually exist as an ehibition to help raise money for these organisations.
