Barbed Wire, a Refugee and a Washing Line.


What a powerful, compelling and emotive photograph. Barbed wire, a refugee and a washing line. This photo came out as Angelina Jolie Pitt warned that the international humanitarian system for refugees is breaking down. She also warned against a "fear of migration" and a "race to the bottom" as countries have been competing to be the strongest to protect themselves from refugees.

The refugee crisis has truly become a global issue and as my project ‘Around the World in 80 Washing Lines’ highlights is that laundry doesn’t discriminate – we all have laundry to do irrespective of who, what or where we are in the world.
