In many places, wearing masks is now the norm; everywhere you go, people have covered themselves as a means of protection (and rightfully so). However, even though the masks are worn for good reason, we lose an essential part of human connection when most of the face is covered. We lose the wonderful spectrum of facial expressions, along with the emotions and stories these expressions tell. Through my portraits, I seek to tell these stories again.

This particular story, titled "Gone Grey with a Grin," paints a picture of stress and uncertainty with a flicker of comforting hope. Grey hair is commonly associated with things that make one "go grey," such as stress, fear, etc. It is commonly seen as a bad thing. But going grey, in a literal or figurative sense, does not mean you can't smile anymore.
