"Because I was escaping from the war".
This is what Eyana Alassar and Iman Kanaan told me when I asked them why they came to live in Berlin. I was shocked by the answer and wanted to photograph them as a statement of freedom but also as part of the multicultural essence of Berlin.
Alassar & Kanaan portrays Eyana Alassar and Iman Kanaan, refugees in Berlin. Sabando creates portraits that go beyond the face: resilience, memory, and freedom are expressed through a fusion of editorial imagery and social commitment.
"Their story was not just told, it became image."
