Sune van Tonder delves into a modern-day fable photo series.

“Ode to a Leech is a series about your other. Whether that may be a part of you, your significant other, a friend. It’s a story about sacrifice – but perhaps not the selfless kind that makes you feel good. A sacrifice of yourself for others, to others – to a leech. Ophelia descends into grief and madness. The leech has taken everything.”
