Hope inspires patients, families and physicians to persevere in even the most dire of circumstances. An elusive idea, hope is a powerful tool for healing.
University of Washington photography student Sarah Skinner sought to capture this concept the way she knows best. She gave a trauma surgeon,a patient’s wife and a patient cameras to make hope “visible through the eyes of those who inhale it, as much a form of life support as supplemental oxygen.”
All three photographers captured very different images of hope: a child, flowers, skyscapes. How would you represent hope visually?
