Kurdistan (northern Iraq).
Ramadan is a 14 year old Libyan boy. Well, he's a man-boy really. His father's death left him the head of his household.
Lots of pressure comes with being head of the household. In Ramadan's case, that also meant deciding whether or not to have lifesaving heart surgery. For years he said 'no!' Until one day he finally said 'yes'.
This image was made during his surgery. As I looked at his feet, I thought about how many stories the skin on his feet told...
And he came through the surgery like a champ :)
May the force be with you when you cross the road. ;)

Just a sketch. This didn't come out as I'd envisioned. I'd like to go back and try it at a different time of day, or different season.
**I did a bit more work on this, and replaced the image. Happier with this version, but will still try shooting it again. I'll post the original version in the comments**
