Jessica Tormey, "Not everything that's meant to be seen, is meant to be known" (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2025)

This image is part of a series for my Collarts Capstone folio where I created a series of images based off of my trauma living in this world with parents that didn't want me, it explored the complexities of relationships and how they shaped who I became. it was meant to heal me but in turn it did the opposite. This particular image was created in a sense of a child who was forever silenced, forever shut down and told her place in this world simply did not deserve to exist. Yet here she is, still existing despite everything else.
