Michelle Vollemaer, Vonda (PORTRAIT 2023)

Vonda was already going through a bad patch when she broke her ankle in a few places. She wasn't happy but she was coping and waiting for things to get better. I talked to her a lot during our session and captured a range of attitudes: Staunch and strong, putting on a brave face, and letting her guard slip and looking downcast. PS. Things did get better - eventually.
