Every reflection here carries a story of strength — of navigating pain, reclaiming identity, and rising through what was never meant to break us.
These words sit beside the portraits as an honoring of every person who chose to be seen.
Thank you for witnessing their journey, personal words and images.
This art is not for sale.
People’s pain and hardship cannot be commodified in this space. This space exists simply to inspire anyone who is struggling to cope or searching for a way through.
The art is a gift from myself and every participant. These images capture a moment in time that allowed us to realise that our pain has given us something priceless:
Wisdom and resilience.
They form the desire lines we walk as we move through each new storm we face, again and again.
