RESILIENCE can mean many things
to different people, spanning art,
culture, history, language, science
and nature. What is fascinating about
resilience is that it may not be limited
to words. Photography can be used to
explore a highly ambiguous term by
revealing its meaning through pictures.
IHRR recently held an online photo
competition to see how people viewed
resilience from their perspective.
What we received in response was a
wide range of photos, from portraits
of people to landscapes, ways of life
and survival. These photos tell stories
of resilience in both personal and
universal ways.
