The Bangladesh garment factory tragedy is a testimony to the high cost of cheap labour with death toll rising to as high as 900.
No picture documents this unnecessary tragedy more than the heartbreaking image of two victims locked in a final embrace that captures the moment the collapse took place. Both victims lie in the debris together – blood hardened on the man’s cheek like a permanent tear.
Shahidul Alam, founder of Pathshala, the South Asian Institute of Photography, said that the image is deeply disturbing but somehow “hauntingly beautiful.”
May their souls rest in peace.
