Safa, 12.
She escaped the horrors of the Syrian war, leaving everything behind, for the terrifying unknown.
She now lives, together with her mother and some relatives, in one of the refugee camps on the Lebanese border to Syria, in the Bekaa Valley, where she can finally sleep at night. Still not knowing where here father is.
She has dreams: of becoming a teacher, back home, once the war is over.
The tents in the Lebanese camps are made out of old billboards, and the messages sometimes clash cynically with reality. In the first image: representing some of those who are in charge and somehow the world she left behind, are represented some leaders of middle eastern countries; while on the third photograph is the world she dreams of. Reminding us with force, the reality she is in.
Home to her dreams.
