Discontent

During an assignment in Guatemala, my talented photographer friend, Bryan, met a man we affectionately call "The Quiet One." Although I never spoke with him, Brian's photograph captivated me, revealing a face etched with the tales of a rich life.

Originating from a humble village with scarce resources, The Quiet One, like many from his community, found work on nearby coffee plantations.

In my portrait, I hoped to convey the life challenges he has faced, yet the contentment and acceptance he has found in his journey.
