The Mother’s Comfort and Pride

by Arthur Petrillo

“The orthodox church lights, the sun of Kefalonia, and the love around the place were translated into this gorgeous image, in which the mother comforts her child. At the same time, she shows immense pride in her son in a timeless moment, one of those when we stop to recognize how warm life can be. Digital photography.”

Arthur Petrillo is a Photographer, Art Director, and Designer. They are a nonbinary identity and, over the last 12 years, have developed their perspective on everyday photography. After a series of mental health crisis episodes and going through their gender journey, Arthur Petrillo found in photography a place of mindfulness, where they can focus on the present and cope with the challenges of being a trans person. Arthur is inspired to tell stories of diversity, loneliness, and overcoming, finding beauty and uniqueness in what they see. As passionate fan of Leica, they constantly carry cameras as a relief from the hurdles of modern life. https://www.instagram.com/arthurpetrillo.photo/
