ENGLAND. London. October 2024.
Layla, a Kenyan woman, was raised in captivity and subjected to force labour and exploitation by a British man. This continued all the way into adulthood. Years of abuse
stripped away her sense of self, leaving behind depression, anger, and resentment that seemed impossible to overcome.

Her most profound healing emerged through an unexpected source: art. In creative expression, she discovered a powerful tool for processing her trauma. “Art helps me find new depths to my thinking," she says. Through painting and drawing, she enters a meditative state that reduces stress and brings a sense of completeness. Each brushstroke represents another step in reclaiming control of her life, processing complex emotions that words alone cannot express.
