Cearns by Deljeem Rai

Loading...

Uprooted from his home, community and wider family in Nepal as a teenager, then transplanted halfway across the world, it was not until Deljeem found himself in the Cearns, a small housing estate in Stornoway, that he rediscovered the sense of community and belonging. There, he and his family were welcomed into a close-knit community where members supported and looked out for one another.

This photographic project offers a view of an island community that challenges traditional ideas of life in the Outer Hebrides, cementing the Cearns community as a vibrant and valid part of island culture.
