Zain

Beirut
Eyes wide and hollow, lips pressed in quiet desperation, this close-up captures Zain moments after running away from home, wandering the streets hungry and alone. He’s not begging. He’s asking for work. There's a difference, and it's written all over his face. In this still, the weight of neglect and survival bears down on a child too proud to cry, too tired to shout. His expression says what the system refuses to hear: "I exist. I need help."
