Invisible
My work is highly influenced by my surroundings and thoughts on social issues. Child abuse is one of the things that has always affected me. A child is innocent and to be abused in any way is the worst crime possible. Invisible is the story of a girl who goes through different stages of dealing with her abuse. The effect abuse has on a young girl and how she copes with it. My attempt is to get awareness for a social issue that is been avoided for too long.
