Shine on Your Way with Freedom

As young men from Kibera, when someone has been murdered we hold it, we try not to make it affect us. In cases where someone has been killed by the police, we even try not to associate with the person because we don't want to be seen as part of their close circles. This photo series explores the ripple effect of  the death of a young man by accident ,and who was loved by his friends and the community at large. The celebration of his life took a week before he was buried. I wanted to capture the freedom of how young men were going to respond to this; letting their anger and frustrations out. It was a show of togetherness, intimacy and protection like I've not seen among the young men.
