Photographed in Western Mongolia in late May and early June 2025, this series captures the resilience of nomadic families and children facing an increasingly harsh climate. From moments of laughter and play to daily life with animals, the images reveal both joy and struggle. Dust storms, long winters, and scorching summers highlight the escalating impact of climate change on future generations growing up in this already extreme land.
