During the Covid-19 pandemic, I decided to visit the less advantaged villages and take photos of the residents’ health situation and facilities.
I saw lots of children in these areas who despite the pandemic and fears of infection were not worried about wearing masks or disinfectants. They had other dreams which were not likely to came true.
They were quite familiar with the virtual environment and have seen social and cultural facilities which were not possible in their villages, hence they had to travel a long distance, sometimes up to hundreds of kilometers, to work on their dreams but it was very hard.
I asked them to visualize their dreams with their body moves to enable me to document their dreams hoping for a way to make their dreams real.
