The idea
A photographic tribute to Azaan John Kaleem, made in collaboration with Yusuf J. Noorudeen. The work uses the relationship between father and son to reflect on guardianship, influence and the human cost of knife violence.

The creative approach
The work sits within the context of 22 Seconds to Murder, an exhibition associated with artist Haleema Ali and collaboration with victims’ families and the local community. This wider setting places the photographic tribute within a shared conversation about the consequences of knife violence.

My contribution
I contributed an artistic photographic response, working with Yusuf J. Noorudeen to approach a difficult subject through the image. The piece brings my visual practice into a conversation about responsibility and loss, using art to invite reflection.
