Rooted by Henk Wildschut

A collection of works by Dutch photographer Henk Wildschut.

This is the final part of Wilshoot's trilogy about refugee and migrant life. It focuses on refugee camp residents who find hope, solace and dignity in growing just a few plants. These miniature gardens are often nothing more than a few tin cans with flowers in them, or a handful of seeds struggling to sprout in poor soil. Wilshoot photographed these modest gardens in refugee camps in Tunisia, Jordan and Lebanon to tell the stories of gardeners who are now left with few options, just putting down roots in foreign soil.
