very sad. i can see hints of exploitation by waye of the childs pose. legs spread.
this image is immediately arresting and confronting. by hiding the child's face it
makes me think you are also touching on how annoymous victims become due
to the stigma attached to this issue. this could be any child anywhere in the world.
there's alot of talk about sexual abuse & neglect of aboriginal children here in sydney
atm so this image really ties into current affairs on my end.

thanks for using your gift to help those in need - it's really quite a beautiful thing to do.

sorry about the novella but this is something that is close to home :hug:

What a wonderful and urgent message, and you conveyed it really well. I love your tone and choice of colours. :)
