Ten years ago, my life changed forever during the longest, darkest night I’ve ever known. As I sat beside my son’s hospital bed after a long ambulance ride, I struggled to find comfort in a stiff chair. My son, battling the relentless grip of addiction, woke with shame in his eyes.

“How can you still love me?” he asked. My love never faltered. I reassured him that no matter the struggle—be it addiction, depression, or hardship—there is no shame in being human. That night, I made a promise: I would use my art to extend compassion to those who feel broken, sharing their stories to remind them they are never alone.

These are the Faces of Healing—the stories of people in search of restoration, resilience, and hope. Through my lens, I capture the beauty of human healing, even in its most vulnerable forms.
