Unseen Tears

Over the course of multiple sessions with expert child therapists – with complete awareness about the purpose and consent of the child – the tears of orphaned children were collected IF they got emotional while narrating their story. After an 8-hour crystallisation process, their topography was photographed under a microscope with a special camera. Each tear’s topography revealed a different kind of emotion behind it. These photographs of the tears were turned into giant posters to give people a closer and deeper look at the stories of the orphan kids.
