These portraits confront the hidden weight of undiagnosed pain where strength is mistaken for wellness and silence is forced by disbelief. They uncover the storm behind composure, showing how endurance can be misread as ease. The works insist that suffering is neither invisible nor imagined and call for recognition, compassion and justice for those carrying unspoken burdens.

While the bond between a mother and her child is widely acknowledged for its strength, the connection between a child and their father is often a gradual process. Witnessing the slow development of trust between them is truly a captivating experience, prompting reflections on how one’s own foundational bonds were initially forged.
