This series documents the lives of civilians affected by Myanmar's civil war, focusing on those left behind: women, children, the displaced, and the disabled. Through quiet moments—a scar, a gaze, a collapsed home—the photographs give voice to those silenced by violence and abandonment. With a consistent black-and-white visual language, the images invite empathy and witness, moving beyond headlines to honor memory, identity, and survival.
