Daydreams and Wooden Shutters

Mike Wheeler

Daydreams and Wooden Shutters. Photography. 2025.
“Daydreams and Wooden Shutters” reflects survival not through struggle, but quiet endurance. The girl, with a bowl in hand and a distant gaze, embodies the balance between physical need and inner life. In her stillness, survival is not just about food—but about holding onto hope, reflection, and the will to imagine beyond scarcity.
