vul·ner·a·bil·i·ty

noun

the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.
In 2015 I started a street documentation series that tackled the idea of emotional vulnerability. I would approach strangers and ask them about in a time in their life when they had to be vulnerable. These are a few of the responses that I got.
