According to Emmanuel Levinas, a face can never be fully characterized, never fully described. It is something infinite, an indeterminate element that storms the unity and peace of our world. Thus, draws our attention, calls us to talk, directs us face-to-face. "12 Faces" tell stories of cruel and inhumane experiences, recorded in two ways. Written on paper and images captured on large format film. Syrian refugees living in Turkish camps are not always willing to talk, but their postures, facial expressions and emotions do not require additional commentary and explanations. The face, like a mirror, reflects the fear, anxiety, helplessness, resignation, denial, anger, but also the pride and respect. Emotions, known only to those who looked war in the face.

Photographs were taken at the end of August and beginning of September 2012 in Islahlye, Turkey, at the refugee camp close to Syrian border.
