The moment the tears stop being weakness and start being release.

Liberated Tears catches grief at the point where carrying it becomes heavier than letting it move. The face is not broken. It is finally unburdened.

Companion work: Tears Flowing and Liberated Tears explore what happens when grief is allowed to move. One captures the moment the tears finally come. The other captures the release that follows when carrying everything becomes heavier than letting it go.
