NEST

A child bends down to gather fallen palm leaves from the ground, small hands reaching for what the tree has let go. This photo named this photograph after an Islamic belief — that children who die are welcomed into heaven as birds, free. The child in this frame is alive, and still the image carries that tenderness. Something about the gathering, the gentleness, the leaves.
