Bulletproof

BULLETPROOF is a collection that narrates what refugees experienced going through the tragedy of losing their homes and carrying the burden of this loss on their shoulders. Refugees didn't choose to become refugees, they were forced to become ones trying to find a new life and a new home. They are incredibly strong and courageous people because of how they were destroyed both mentally and emotionally, but somehow were able to reconstruct themselves and stand right back up on their feet, knowing in the back of their minds that they have lost everything. After watching "The Swimmers" a Netflix movie based on the real life events of both incredibly strong young women @yusramardini and @sara_mardini963, I was deeply affected by what these people go through and having to imagine losing your home is absolutely devastating and heartbreaking. I was inspired by how refugees never give up and that they are truly "Bulletproof" because with everything life have thrown at them, they believe in new beginnings and that they will always have a home, but for now, they live to create their own. "Being a refugee is not a choice. Our choice is to die at home or risk death trying to escape." ~Yusra Mardini
