Children aren't coloring books.
Convex Photography Magazine|October 2016

I kept watching through the window, wishing to be a child again so I could also colour my life as I wanted to without anyone looking, caring or judging me.

Children aren't coloring books.

Then I walked out and caught my nieces hiding in the backyard spilling paints everywhere, even their faces as you see.
