Behind Bars


Behind Bars

I am currently working on one project and in search for a material when I came accross this photo. It was a few weeks before leaving Manila, I joined an outreach team who visited Golden Acres, a place for old people. Most of them left by their families. This shot was taken before we left, I thought I had already seen the saddest images. But here is a section of GA where old people needs to be locked in a prison like cell. For one reason...they tend to be violent with other people. A heart-crushing picture. But not half of how it really felt being actually there. I remember my hands shaking while taking this picture. It took me several tries before i got it right.
