13 Children

This photoproject collects 13 orphans aged 4 to 10. I worked with them for several months to follow their process of imagination and self reflection. I asked them to create a character, they want to be, irrespective of their own destiny, gender or personality. They used drawings for expression as it was important for me to work on a nonverbal level. Based on these drawings I helped them to create a costume and transform themselves into their imaginary ego.
