I really admire the room filled with pictures of the boy who had a tumor and his mother's journey as she tried to be there for him through every moment of his life. All the pictures were black and white, as I recall, and it was easy to see outlines of the people and the boy's stick-like arms whenever he and his mother were hugging or when she was racing his wheelchair down the hall before his chemotherapy treatment began. this was a very powerful exhibition, it takes inner courage to document moments of someone's life like that and put it up on display. I was truly touched.

  1. The images are really moving and capture a range of emotions from intense sorrow to blissful joy. I find the variety in itself to be very moving and contributes tremendously to the overall experience. The sense of proximity is really strong in every picture and really draws the audience into the experience of struggling through such adversity.
