BORN IN BLOOD was created with a simple goal; to help those afflicted with poor mental health conditions in two ways, first by providing a space where people can express their inner struggles and conflicts openly and second to raise awareness and donations for various MH charities through the creation of the short story collections titled BORN IN BLOOD with 6 volumes available through the link below.
What began as a self portrait quickly grew with many participants, many of whom fight invisible battles everyday, most that take part leave with a strength or confidence they didn't know they had but all leave happy.
You may find the following images unsettling, hard to look at or emotionally draining which is the point, they are not meant for entertainment but to show those invisible battles.
