The photographer Halena Hucker has spent the last year interviewing care workers and photographing behind the scenes of the care sector in a project titled In Love and Care. She documents the multifaceted nature of care work and highlights humanity amid the care system’s economic and political uncertainties, emphasising how the dedication of carers sustains the system
In Love and Care came from a personal place in my heart. Many of my family members work in care, with aunties and cousins working in nursing homes, as well as my mum, who previously took over a caring role for her mother. This project took inspiration from my family, who have first-hand dealt with the exhaustion and physical demands of being a carer.
