“Carol - Burns Survivor” Carol Mayer was horrifically burnt in a tragic house fire in Australia as a young mother. Over ten years on and she emotionally and bravely spoke in a newspaper feature on coping and living with her obvious injuries - and bringing up a teenage son. I made this portrait for the feature in Carols home - lit gently with the light though a window. I was captivated by the beauty of her wonderful eyes - framed by the strangely beautiful scars that surround them. It portrays Carols dignity and remarkable bravery.
