HITCHHIKING TO PARIS
OXFAM NOVIB
In 2015, Oxfam commissioned me to photograph communities impacted by global warming. The subjects were asked to pretend they were hitchhiking to Paris to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference where 155 courtiers were gathering to discuss the Paris Climate Deal. It was to symbolize that the world must put the poorest lowest emitting and most vulnerable people first.
