A woman clutches her sick child in the doorway of a ramshackle medical clinic, but her serene expression belies the turmoil within. 'It was raining, but the mother didn't look too depressed ... she was actually desperate,' says local rocker Paul Wong Koon-chung, who took the photograph on a recent humanitarian mission to Bangladesh.
That same sense of resilience can be found in another of Wong's shots from the trip, which captures the reflection of four children standing in a pool of stagnant water.
'In such an adverse environment, the children are still living happily and there is clearly a strong friendship among them,' the 43-year-old musician says.
'They don't recognise the harshness of their life, which inspires me to think a lot about human nature, and myself.'
These two black-and-white images, and many more, feature in the exhibition Trapped for 15 Years, are the fruits of Wong's visit last month to Teknaf on the southernmost tip of Bangladesh.
He was invited to the impoverished border town by aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres and the resulting photo project aims to raise awareness of the plight of the 260,000 Muslim Rohingyas who escaped Myanmar for Bangladesh in 1992. The Rohingyas fled their homeland after years of discrimination, violent intimidation and forced labour. Today, they are a trapped people, unable to return to Myanmar for fear of retribution and unable to obtain refugee status in Bangladesh. With scant clean water, food or medical support, they struggle to survive.
But instead of despair and pessimism, Wong's images capture a people full of dignity and hope.
