Being Seen

By Don Hajicek

"A work of healing, beauty, and truth...""Far more than a book of photography..."She waits at the far end of the empty ballroom, restless and obscured by shadow. Here in the lightless corners, there is cover...an illusion of safety where the only judgment suffered is her own. Ahead, a single spotlight burns a soft, white circle into the darkness. She is drawn to the promise of the light; to be seen, to be heard, to be recognized.Somewhere behind her, she can hear the distant voice of her mother, or the girls from school. She can still feel the absence of her father, or the unwelcome hands of her uncle. The failed marriage, the doctor's diagnosis, the surgeon's knife--so many reasons to stay here in the cold arms of invisibility. We stand here now in the midst of a wave of awakening to the power of the Divine Feminine. The world is shifting in immensely beautiful ways that are painful, exhilarating, and necessary. Since 2004, author, photographer and speaker, Don Hajicek has been bearing witness to the Divine Feminine through what he describes as the Lens of Love. Breast cancer, divorce, sexual assault, war... Don Hajicek works with women, and so he works with survivors. He has discovered (and documents here) that there is great healing in the process of Being Seen, whether it is through the lens of a camera or not. The book is much more than a collection of photographs. In the end, it is an investigation into of the power of The Witness, an homage to the resilience of The Divine Feminine, and an acknowledgment of the role of The Masculine in her healing...and her in his.
