PARIS ATTACKS
I was living in Paris at the time of the November 2015 terror attacks that shook the world and my new home. Paris was clouded in a sense of disbelief, horror and shock that these attacks had happened and so many innocent people had lost their lives. The Saturday after the attacks, the city was a ghost town, with no one on the street, in the metro and all the cafes the line the city’s vibrant streets were closed. It was a day of mourning, reflection and grief. The next day however there was a gathering in Paris’s famous Place de la Republique, a place that symbolizes freedom and democracy. Here hundreds of people were gathered to pay their respects and support one another. It was an incredibly emotional and highly charged atmosphere. The photos I took on that day still make me teary-eyed today.
