[*ABOUT MY PROJECT]
Masaru Goto has been documenting people in the south of Thailand since early 2004. He has traveled through rural armed Buddhist villages, as well as Muslim villages, which are classified as "red zones" where support for the separatists is strong.
Since 2004, more than 2,300 people have been killed and over 6,000 injured in the deep south of Thailand, where Buddhists live side by side with Muslims.
The number of widows has risen to 1,000, and 1,740 children have become orphans. Violence in the region has affected people in all aspects of life, especially in that people have lost their families and suddenly lost their loved ones.
The series of portraits shows the faces of those who have lost their loved ones in the conflict. The documentary series shows the reality of the situation in the south.
The photographer wishes to show in this documentary that violence has increased to an extent where it affects almost all areas of life for local people, both Muslim and Buddhist.
