This photograph is part of the series Children of Resistance, a visual exploration of resilience, defiance, and the primal force of identity as expressed through the youngest voices of humanity. Captured in stark black and white, the portrait removes distraction and places the full weight on the subject’s gaze. The child’s raised arm, streaked face, and unyielding eyes transform the frame into a declaration — not of weakness, but of raw strength. It is the innocence of childhood fused with the instinct to fight, to endure, and to demand recognition.
