Over the last 3 months, I have been dilligently working a large series of new work in the format of a photo essay. The concept stems from personal experience and I wanted to express myself through my work in an evocative manner to connect with my viewers on a personal level. The nature of this essay is based on a wide spread and sensitive topic for some. Viewer discretion is advised and some scenes have been exaggerated for the sake of art and to make an impacting statement.
