Her subjects are frequently in heartbreaking situations--coping with adverse circumstances such as poverty, physical abuse, homelessness, or drug addiction. Mark's pictures often focus on interpersonal bonds (including those between humans and animals), but they are not sentimental. Although her subjects' reveal their vulnerability before her camera, their honesty implies that she relates to them with tremendous compassion and respect.
