Overview

'Throughout my artistic career I have been driven by the need to give voice to the unheard and unseen. This desire became a personal passion when my daughter Sharon was born. Just after her birth I felt there was something wrong with my daughter, and slowly we learned that she was born with disabilities. She was legally blind, her motor skills were underdeveloped. She was also on the autism spectrum, and suffered from seizure disorders. The list continues and it is long. I started photographing my daughter before she was born and I have never stopped.' - Leon Borensztein
