Caring but Not Caring
In the quiet corridors and shared spaces of a rehabilitation home, a profound human drama unfolds daily. "Caring but Not Caring" is an exploration into the intricacies of the relationships between staff and patients within this environment. Through the medium of portraiture, I delve into the nuanced dynamics that exist between those tasked with providing care and those receiving it.
Within these walls, the line between duty and genuine compassion blurs. It is a realm where the obligation to care for others meets the complex reality of human connection. In this series, I aim to capture the tension between caring as a profession and caring as an authentic expression of empathy and understanding.
Each portrait in "Caring but Not Caring" serves as a window into this complex interplay. The faces of staff members and patients alike reveal layers of emotion, hinting at the depths of their shared experiences. Through subtle gestures and expressions, I seek to illuminate the profound difference between merely fulfilling a job description and truly connecting with another human being on a deeper level.
In a world where the demands of caregiving often overshadow the need for genuine human connection, "Caring but Not Caring" invites viewers to contemplate the transformative power of empathy and love. These portraits serve as reminders that, beyond the routine of daily tasks, lies the profound importance of seeing and valuing each individual as a person worthy of care, connection, and compassion.
