Iron Lungs

from $49.00

Lho, Manaslu Circuit, Nepal

We stumbled across them mid-trek, kids from the monastery, enthralled in a game of soccer on a plateau at 3,400 metres. No referee. No rules. Just lungs working overtime in the thin air, legs pumping across a patch of dirt that serves as a field.

The landscape swallows them. Mountains dwarf the game. But they play anyway, unselfconscious, determined, alive. This is what resilience looks like when it's not trying to be brave.

Fine art print on premium cotton rag paper.
Made to order. Ships worldwide within 2-3 weeks.
