Magnus Wennman - Where the children sleep


 

“One misses his own bed. Another, her doll with the dark eyes. A third dreams himself back to a time when his pillow was not an enemy.”

“The war in Syria has continued for five years, and more than two million children are fleeing the conflict, within and outside the country’s borders. They have left their friends, their homes, and their beds behind. A few of these children offered to show us where they sleep now, when everything that once was no longer exists.”
