Suspended between childhood and adolescence. In joggers and mascara, she holds a soft-toy rabbit with the same affection she had when she was small. Growing up is a contradiction: finding her identity while still holding on to the comforts she’s not quite ready to leave behind.
My brother is autistic, has severe learning difficulties, and is non-verbal. During a belated Christmas visit, I captured this portrait just after he downed his 3rd can of Coke. Sitting still and seemingly lost in thought with a crumpled paper crown on his head. A moment that felt both tender and slightly absurd.
