"Standing between their bunk beds, Margie admires her four sons: Johnny, 13, Pierre, 11, Jamont, 9, and Johnnell, 11," is a black and white photograph by Donna Ferrato taken in 1999. The photograph depicts a family living in a homeless shelter in Chicago, a poignant moment in the life of a woman and her four sons who have been impacted by drug addiction. Ferrato's work is known for its focus on social issues, particularly those affecting women and children. This photograph is a powerful and moving example of her work, and provides a glimpse into the lives of those who are often marginalized.
