Between Fear and Freedom


Between Fear and Freedom worked with participants across age, ability, and social position—including autistic individuals navigating independent living, a veteran, and corporate leaders. Each portrait was shaped collaboratively, often depicting the subject confronting deeply personal fears. Vulnerability, imagination, and symbolism coexisted, allowing participants to be seen intimately.
