Photography as a Medium for Showing Trauma’s Complexity
STORY BY JOANNA MARSH
Lori Pasareno’s “Unbreakable,” a portraiture series consisting of 40 photographs taken over three years, seeks to address the tension between the residual pain of a traumatic experience and the ongoing process of healing and restoration.
“I am curious about the human spirit and its capacity to bleed and break, and then rise and push past the unspeakable to reach for hope and healing,” says the Canadian fine arts photographer’s artist statement.”
