The Light Within
Amid the crowd, one face rises—calm, steady, radiant. Her eyes don’t just meet the lens—they hold it, as if asking quietly, “Will you see me, truly?” In the heart of Kiribati, I met a group of children whose energy was boundless, whose smiles had seen both wonder and hardship. But in this moment, there was stillness. A gentle defiance in her gaze. A whisper of dreams not yet spoken. This is not just a portrait. It’s a testament to resilience, to community, to the power of presence.
