Clara Hartman is a photojournalist who captures the unique and usually fragile side of humanity— the fear that lies just beneath the surface. Not only is her work compelling in the visual sense, but also in the visceral. She catches that which lies between darkness and light, the twilight of our decency as a race and as people. In this sense, her work stands as monument, not just rock and steel, not just physical, but an agent of representation for those who cannot represent themselves in our growing world of passion and rage. She is a psychological adventurer who expects the worst and prepares for the rest, bringing shadowy light to places few dare to go.
