Photographer asks Refugees: 'What is the most important thing you brought from home?'
1 of 11
In photographer, Brian Sokol's exhibit, "The Most Important Thing," part of The Half King Photo Series, refugees are photographed with the most meaningful item they brought with them from the land they fled. Pictured, Dowla Barik, 22, in Doro Refugee Camp, South Sudan, 2012. The most important object that Dowla was able to bring with her is the wooden pole balanced over her shoulder, with which she carried her six children during the 10-day journey from Gabanit to South Sudan. Numerous bombing raids forced Dowla to flee her home.
