Nisar Ali
a roadside village along the Karakoram Highway, Pakistan
Nisar Ali, a devoted father, starts his day well before dawn, intimately familiar with the rhythm of hospital life and every dog that lounges along his path. He's spent decades ensuring the dignity of each patient through crisp linens and knows the economic fragility of winters that could cut off access to everything he holds dear.
