what I see
From the above picture i see a young boy sadly looking through the window with a splash of water on the window.
What I feel
I feel the boy that is looking through the window has been stopped from going out and that is making him sad.
The story behind the above picture
Jathniel was just two years old when he was diagnosed with xeroderma pigmentosum. Playing in the sun was a taboo for him. He grew up with the knowledge of how damaging exposing himself to the sun will be to him.
He will stand at the window of his room looking at other Children playing football across the street. He was always the first to wake up every morning and run to the back of the house, and get some water from the tap and water the plants he has in his small garden. When the sun was out, he will be in his room playing his PS5 game.
As he grew older, he was becoming moody and sad. His father had tried all trick to make him happy, but that seem not to be working. Until he discovered that jathniel's happiest moment were when he is playing with grasses or in his garden.
The day the above picture was captured, was when his father had taken him to a farm to put a smile on his face. They had driven early to the farm that day, jathniel was enjoying his play with the grasses while his father was doing the farm work, then of a sudden the rain begins to fall, they both ran into the farm house and waited for the rain to stop falling. Before the rain could stop falling completely, the sun was already out, so jathniel was stopped from going out again. So he sadly sat close to the window of the farm house watching how he missed going out to go play with grasses.
