Sherrlyn Borkgren began photographing conflict in 1993 when she awoke in the midst of a military coup in Guatemala. Ever since she has been documenting violence, and more recently love, in an attempt to bring attention to the neglected extremes of our human experience. We were thrilled to learn that Borkgren has won a $10,000 ShootQ Grant to document rape in the Eastern Congo in a clinic that will serve at least 8,000 women and children this year. Read her proposal here.

See a few samples from her incredible portfolio below:

Thanks to Anne for the heads up.
