Seeing the Unseen

Seeing the Unseen explores the tension between visibility and assumption, and the social pressures faced by people whose conditions leave no obvious physical trace.

The project is a constructed documentary series made in collaboration with people living with hidden conditions — chronic illness, neurological damage, mental illness, and pain that leaves no visible mark. Using portraiture, metaphor, and visual construction, the work makes tangible what daily life conceals, translating internal experience into visual form.

It does not ask for sympathy; it asks for attention.
