don’t they understand that’s how humans are?… “different”

don’t they understand that’s how humans are?… “different”

don’t they understand that’s how humans are?… “different” is a photographic portrait centred on introspection, vulnerability and the social experience of being perceived as “different.” Through a direct, quiet gaze and a soft natural setting, the work reflects on how difference is judged, misunderstood and too often treated as something to be corrected. The accompanying poetic text deepens this emotional register, shifting the response to prejudice from anger toward compassion and pity. Rather than dramatizing pain, the photograph holds space for dignity, self-awareness and the quiet strength of existing beyond narrow social expectations.
