Children of the Border
Aung Naing Soe
2022, 5294 x 7936 px
In this haunting black-and-white portrait from the Thai-Myanmar border, three Karen IDP children sit on bamboo steps—two toddlers in the foreground with innocent, curious expressions, and an older boy above, his gaze steady and solemn. Taken in June 2022, the image captures a generational moment shaped by war and exile. The younger children exude unawareness of the political violence that surrounds them, while the older boy's silence speaks volumes—carrying the weight of uncertainty and premature maturity borne from displacement. This is a portrait not only of youth, but of resilience shaped too soon.
