“Diaspora Smile” is an ongoing photographic project that captures the joy of elderly Tibetan refugees who lived in exile for more than fifty years. Despite the fact about their physical abusive, their spiritual strength do not weaken. I want to explore the enigmatic spirit of a Tibetan’s dignity in their willingness to leave their homeland into another country. In front of camera without any verbal expression they just smile. The camera led me to discover an inward happiness in their live a means of expression beyond the physical world.
