The Gaze
This photo shows an innocent child amidst the colorful suffering of humanity. Two hands, painted green and yellow, frame the child's face, guiding the viewer’s focus toward their intense and soulful eyes. I hope that a gaze filled with feelings of sadness, hope, and trust will reach your heart.
