n August 24 at age of 4 months Tobias Phineasa was attacked by the meningococcal disease. Within hours of the onset he had been flown to Townsville Paediatric Hospital, had lost both arms, both legs and twice, very nearly, his life. The Paediatric surgeon said he had never seen a meningococcal case so severe. I learnt of the terrible plight and journey since of Tobias from a photographer colleague. In December 2025 I was introduced to little then 18 month old Tobias and his mother Katie and discussed the possibility of documenting the heart-rending story. This portrait is one of the results.
