Silent Voices

For this project I collaborated with the youth of Pakistan. I collected hand written letters, which had to contain some message to the world. It could be in the form of a poem or just direct from the heart. The youngsters were asked to submit any small object with the letter

 

“Silent Voices” speaks of a stifling society where one has to be cautious of what one says or does. The youth of Pakistan grows up controlling their self-expression. The feeling of having a bag over your head and not being able to breathe.
