'The Most Important Thing' By Brian Sokol

Posted: 8/05/2013

When one's life is at stake, with no home or hearth for comfort, what do you suppose such people most cling to? What thoughts ail them? Do they grab moneybags or keepsakes before they flee for safety?

These were the aching question that took me by shock as I looked through Brian Sokol's photographic series on Refugees. Before we get started, just curb that sympathy shot, because these people need much more than bland sympathetic sighs and tears. These are people who continue to live half-lives, torn amidst political squabbles that concerns them not. That's the whole logic of Displacement - its a quagmire that affects people peripheral to the cause of conflict.
