The Release is a snapshot taken at the moment one abandons their dreams. It is about the sense of relief that you are no longer carrying the burden, anxiety and frustration associated with not being able to achieve your dreams the way you have dreamt it.

What: Portrait series;The African Man.

Medium: Still photography, oil pastels on canvas paper, mixed media.
