A few years ago, I had the privilege of meeting a remarkable woman who entrusted me with her deeply complex life story. I titled this portrait series “Life with a Clean Slate.” A 43-year-old Maria (name changed), is a woman courageously rebuilding her life after serving a maximum sentence for killing her abusive husband. One of the greatest challenges for someone like Maria is breaking free from the weight of her past—the suffocating narrative and the relentless burden of judgment that follows. Yet, moving forward requires acknowledging that, no matter how painful, shameful or horrific, the past is ultimately just a story—one that has already been written. 1/2 🧵

2/2 During her years in prison Maria longed for a family while watching her prime childbearing years slip away. All she could do was hope and pray for a second chance. Against all odds, life answered. In these portraits, she holds her firstborn. To truly embrace the future, one must learn to release the past. As Oscar Wilde so beautifully put it: “The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.” 2021
