Peter van Agtmael
AUSTRIA. Vienna. 2015. Ali, a Syrian refugee who arrived that evening in Vienna after weeks on the refugee trail. It was a difficult journey for his parents, Sawsan and Mohammed, and his siblings Sedra and Ibrahim. The journey from Turkey necessitated the hardships of a dangerous sea voyage, nights spent sleeping on the ground, and sporadic food and water as Western Europe adapted to deal with the magnitude of the crisis. Mohammed had owned a successful bakery in Syria, and the children were used to a comfortable middle-class existence. They’d always slept in a bed and used an indoor bathroom, and the spartan conditions and lack of sanitary facilities confused and upset them. The family was ecstatic when they could stay in a hotel again upon reaching Vienna. The next day they continued their journey to a new life in Sweden.
