“For every passion extinguished.“

Journalists aren’t revered for their studies as professors are. Although both are aligned in academics, one can be seen as more prestigious and traditional. But journalists become vocal when times call for it the most. Their passion for publishing is more important than ever, no matter the criticism and risk it draws from higher authority. "To Those Who are Destined" is a visual development project about those who challenge oppression in their world. Whether grounded or grandiose, through actions or appearance, it is dedicated to those who dream of difference in their daily lives."

“Paragraph after paragraph, letter after letter, Every sentence had “sentenced” her fate.”
