Pit Yourself Against, by Burmese artist Ma Ei, seeks to highlight the invisible struggles and unspoken truths that people carry when they are not at peace. In these new video and photographic self-portraits, the fragility, resilience, and depth of human experience is laid bare, urging us to reflect on what it means to seek peace in a turbulent world.
