Emily Dukes is an 11-year-old girl who has an autistic younger brother. She is recognised as a young carer and I collaborated with a local charity that supports her.

This series shows how Emily’s life is shaped by the conditions of her brother, documenting the impact on her personality, hobbies, interests and relationships.


Every aspect of her life is conditioned by her responsibility as a young carer, but the aim of this work is not meant to show a tragedy. Instead, it wants to communicate the positive story of a young girl overcoming life obstacles through her power and efforts.
