Early
Morning Smoke
This
is a 2019 photograph. It was made about 530am minutes after arriving at the
dump. The Woo family father had just woke up, he was sleeping in a tiny shelter
covered in flies. Mr. Woo is a kind and quiet man, with a sweet smile. His family had left for
Burma and he was alone in the garbage, he missed his 2 young children. He and
his wife had marital problems and that is why he was left alone. The year
before I had photographed him in another region of the dump, his family was
still in Mae Sot but living in another home. A number of husband-wife
relationships I know of have broken down in the 7 years that I have made photos
in the families. As you can imagine, there is a lot of relationship stress,
living and working in such difficult conditions.
