Two Hearts, One Love, 2020

This photo was taken in Munshiganj, Bangladesh, where flooding has intensified in recent years. When the currents of the Padma River are too strong, people face dangerous situations. I saw, for example, this grandfather bringing his grandchildren to safety before accompanying them to the nearest cyclone shelter. The girl also lost an uncle to a snake bite, as the reptile had come to the house because of the flood, as it happens very often.
