The F Word
- Drawing together voices from South Africa, Romania, Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, Northern Ireland and England, “The F Word – Images of Forgiveness” explores and celebrates the stories of people who have survived tragedy, lived through atrocity and who have found it in themselves to forgive.

The project saw her set out on a quest to find people who had emerged from an atrocity without hatred and bitterness.
