Azwar is a photographic series unveiling the human stories of communities in Tunisia on the brink of forced displacement due to the intricate interplay of climate change and globalization. Despite Tunisia's minimal greenhouse gas emissions, it stands as one of the most impacted regions by climate change. This project aims to reveal the subtle yet profound transformations induced by climate challenges—from drought and desertification to water scarcity and rising sea levels.
With a evocation of the importance of working on a climate justice, the series urgently highlights the lesser-known human consequences across diverse landscapes, employing collaborative portraiture to capture the resilience and narratives of individuals and communities navigating shifting environments. A pivotal aspect emphasizes drawing attention to cultural heritage and legacy on the verge of disappearance.
At its core, "The Vanishing Home" advocates for broadening our perspective to consider the interconnected web of life, encompassing not only human beings but also other species. The Earth, inherently resilient and adaptable, faces a future where the existence and legacy of humanity teeter on the edge of undeniable jeopardy.
Central to this exploration are the main protagonists—residents, activists, and advocates—who personify resilience in adversity. Their stories serve as beacons of hope, emphasizing the urgent need for collective action and a reassessment of our relationship with the environment. This underscores that the legacy of humanity is intricately interwoven with the fate of the Earth and its diverse inhabitants.
