Kristin Lau’s Light for Life: Solar Energy in Nepal is the follow-up photo series to her August 2015 Vistek Toronto gallery exhibit “Working Nepalese”.
Light for Life once again features the people of Nepal, only this time, it documents how renewable energy, specifically Solar Power, is helping in Nepal’s ongoing recovery from the devastating earthquakes earlier this year.
Light for Life documents the struggles that the people of Nepal are still going through, and how the non-profit organization SunFarmer is working with them to bring much needed renewable energy options to the region.
