Description
This photograph is part of , a documentary project that explores the daily lives of children separated from their families and placed in foster care by court order.
At the center of the image, a child's hand rises and presents a star cut from paper, held up to a red brick wall. This simple gesture becomes a symbol. The star, fragile and light, embodies hope, imagination, and a yearning for elsewhere—a discreet attempt to bring dreams into an environment marked by institutional rigidity.
The contrast between the delicacy of the paper and the mineral solidity of the bricks underscores the tension between creativity and confinement, vulnerability and resilience. Through this everyday detail, the image reveals children's capacity to invent, to express themselves, and to leave a mark, even in spaces defined by constraints.
Between visual poetry and documentary gaze, this work invites the viewer to recognize the silent power of dreams and the faint light that persists in the heart of adversity.
A sensitive and symbolic photograph, intended for collectors of contemporary photography and lovers of images that carry within them a lasting story.

Presentation
Hugo Kevelaer is a Belgian photographer based in Brussels. His work falls within the field of social documentary photography, with an intimate, portrait-focused approach. Through his images, he seeks to establish a relationship of trust with the people he photographs in order to reveal a raw and authentic sincerity. The human experience, as well as its profound connection to the environment, occupies a central place in his practice.
His projects generally develop over long periods, requiring patience, reflection, and total immersion in the realities he documents—a working method he fully embraces. In 2022, he finalized his personal project before embarking on a journey across Europe in search of new photographic narratives. A road trip in Romania then marked the starting point for a new body of images.
Among his most significant works is his focus on children and adolescents in foster care—young people separated from their parents and placed in other homes. Through this series, Kevelaer explores notions of memory, belonging, and the invisible traces left by family separation.
For his most recent project, he traveled to the Azores, where he continued his photographic research. The islands' isolation and the power of their landscapes brought a new dimension to his documentary approach, enriching and deepening his visual exploration.
