This series of photographs depict portraits of babies who crossed the Myanmar-Bangladesh border while remaining in the womb of Rohingya women during the Military crackdown in the Rakhaine state, Myanmar and were born at the refugee camps inside Bangladesh. The future of these babies are called into doubt in the context of them being stateless. Neither Bangladesh nor Myanmar recognizes them as their citizen.
