BIOGRAPHY
Village Life
<p><strong>Village – End of an Era</strong></p> <p>For a number of years, I have been visually documenting a story about people living in rural communities in countries around the world. Climate change, change of agricultural practices, and globalisation are transforming these places and soon many of the villages will no longer exist. With the disappearance of rural life, we lose customs, cultures, traditions, rituals and languages.</p>
