Empaths

The series of colorful portraits entitled ‘Empaths” was started in 2019 in Brazil and completed in Arles, France during my artist residency, in November of 2019. As the entire world becomes more polarized, and we see the rise of insane people in power, the destruction of the planet, poverty, injustice, hunger, unemployment, etc., I decided to shed light on people who use their voices to change this world for the better — activists. What these people have in common is the empathy they have for others.
