“2019. I do this portrait every two years. This year was especially tough on me, so much so, that I almost didn’t even do it. I would like to thank my old, talented friend Ariel Durkin for helping me pull this together in such short notice. I knew that if I didn’t do this portrait, I would eventually regret it. I feel much better right now and my usual optimistic self is slowly coming back.” - Damian Sokolowski
