Seventeen pairs of eyes and their offerings; images born between Januarys, during a period of exceptional global uncertainty. The dialogue nurtured by their enforced cohabitation here speaks to me of our fears and our vulnerabilities, whether real or imagined; it begs of us to question our own apathy, our unreadiness or unwillingness to stand up and challenge a poisonous status quo; it alludes to the fragility of those hopes and dreams we harbour for our children.
