I'm new to the community, and am excited to present my first post! The reason I decided to call this "Reaching for Freedom", is because a friend of mine reached out to me and told me this photo was very powerful to him, because, it represented what his country was going through. It reminded him of the struggle he has seen, and that sometimes when you reach for freedom, it fades away. Its not easy for everyone, and this photo now represents that to me.
