The Crossroads of Calling: Afghan Girl’s Choice

With the poignant caption ‘medicine as an afghan girl,’ this self-portrait delves into Hosna’s personal crossroads.

Here, she stands as an Afghan woman, holding a medical pamphlet – a nod to her years of study in medicine. Yet, the photographer is clearly present, the artist who chose a different path to document and heal in her own way, through imagery.

This photograph speaks of choices, of embracing new callings, and of the multifaceted identities Afghan women hold as they navigate their lives and passions.
