When you walk for miles filled with sorrow, you eventually walk away. Some walk away with their bodies, others depart with their souls. In this piece entitled “Voyagers”, the stretched bodies resemble the length and hardship of their journeys in which few left home in peace, while most bear the brunt of their bitter memories
1972 Muscat, Oman
