About
Kismet Dreams
I went to Dastak Womens Shelter Home in Pakistan, where I interviewed and photographed women who made choices under dramatic circumstances to escape violence. I asked them about the dreams they had, before they made decisions, that would end up being life-changing. In the Islamic world dreams can have a prophetic meaning and be crucial to the choices you make in life. The women we met are not beaten down by life, on the contrary, they are strong and free.
