Featured Portrait

Selected as One of the Best portraits of January 2023 by Behind the Shutter Magazine. Bryan Wark’s visual representation of how and why people cover up domestic violence in their homes.

Domestic violence is something we can not talk about enough. One of the aspects that needs to be discussed while addressing the topic is why do people stay in the situations. Why don’t they just leave? is such an easy question to ask but a misguided one. Truthfully there is no one answer or an easy explanation.
