Stone and Soul
“Garik Avanesian has been photographing the country of his ancestors for decades. His photographs document the history of a chosen people—unflinching, unassuming, standing tall, lonely, a particular mix of strange beauty and gentleness. In all his pictures, dignity gives people an aura of timeless majesty.”
