I Am Alive: Photographs of the Tsunami is a study of those who survived the tsunami itself but are now struggling to rebuild their lives and their livelihoods. In December 2004, a tsunami, caused by an underwater earthquake, killed nearly 250,000 people in 11 countries and destroyed lives and property of some of the poorest people in the world. Ms. Jimenez and Ms. Lee undertook extended periods in hard hit communities to understand and capture the overwhelming task of rebuilding and the resilience of these survivors.
Angela Jimenez, 29, (angelajimenezphotography.com) is a Brooklyn-based freelance photojournalist who shoots for The New York Times and The Newark Star-Ledger. Ms. Jimenez went to India in January-February 2005 for World Picture News.
Lila Lee, 27, is a New York City-based freelance photojournalist based in New York City, who went to Indonesia and Thailand in January-February 2005 as an independent project.
