What Is Witnessed?
Witnessed is a bespoke, soul-led creative collaboration.
It’s a moment of pause. A personal ceremony. A way to honour who you are and how you got here.
It begins with a gentle, deep conversation between us. You don’t need to arrive with clarity. You don’t need to know the “turning point.” You just need to feel the pull.
Together, we’ll trace your transformation, name the parts of you story that are sacred, and uncover the thread that weaves your story together.
Then, I’ll create a custom illustrated portrait that symbolizes your Journey, not just how you looked in a moment, but who you became through it.
Alongside your portrait, you’ll receive a written reflection crafted with care, that speaks to the deeper truth of your becoming.

THE TURNING POINTS THAT MADE YOU
You have a story to tell. A moment in your life when things turned direction, experiences that shifted the way you see the world. Some times these kinds of transformations happen in association with big events, weddings, births, business/career success. Others happened in the secret of your soul. And even those that are high profile always have a quiet, unseen element to them.
Some begin in silence — in a hospital room, a whispered goodbye, a deep breath before saying yes.
Some are very personal and you never shared them publicly.
These moments might not be on your résumé or in your bio, but they live in your body.
Whatever they were, these moments changed your path. They made you who you are. WITNESSED was born to honour them.

From My Own Turning Point
I often think, when people look at me today, they might sense from my energy, and my strength, that I have been through a lot. But they have no real idea of the inner shifts, the quiet but momentous changes that have made it possible for me to be the person I am today.
I choose this image to illustrate. Because that moment, me gazing down at my daughter's face minutes after her birth, became a symbol. A touchstone. A living portrait of transformation.
And that is the kind of energy that inspired WITNESSED.
When I gave birth to my daughter I was single, living with chronic debilitating illness, and yet I had this deep self-belief.
I knew I could meet what the journey of parenthood would bring. I knew I would be ready. But that moment wasn’t just about becoming a parent. It was a return to myself. To my strength. To my body. To a love so vast it began healing places in me that had been hurting for years. Through pregnancy and birth, my body softened. My heart opened. And my trajectory quietly shifted.
It wasn’t instant. The healing unfolded slowly over several years. But something had begun, something irreversible. I started to see myself differently. Not through the lens of limitation, but through love. Through reverence.
It also got me in touch with a deep desire to honour not just the visible milestones, but the inner shifts. The ones in my story the ones in others. The ones that change everything quietly. This work is about those moments. The ones that live inside us long after they pass. The ones we barely talk about, but which made us who we are.
That’s what WITNESSED is. It’s not about polished bios or perfect timelines. It’s about your human story, and giving it a form you can hold in your hands. It’s about creating something you can come back to, when the world forgets how sacred you are.

We choose a meaningful image.
A photo or moment that resonates. Something real and emotionally true.
I create your illustrated portrait + written reflection.
Crafted slowly, with reverence and care — this is not about photorealism, but soulful symbolism.

Dr. Dzifa Afonu
about me
From a young age, I’ve been captivated by life’s big questions and the search for deeper meaning. My journey led me to earn my doctorate in Clinical Psychology and spend over a decade working in diverse therapeutic settings. While this experience gave me a profound understanding of the human mind, I often felt limited by the traditional model, which seemed to focus more on diagnosing what’s “wrong” than on helping people uncover their unique path to purpose, ease, and joy.
Why I created WITNESSED?
WITNESSED emerged organically out of a personal inquiry about the link between all the parts of me. I'm an artist. I'm a psychologist*. I'm a breath-worker*. I’m a deeply spiritual being. And more than anything, I'm someone who’s obsessed with what it means to really see someone and to be seen. There were times I felt like I had to choose. Like I had to fit into one box or another. But the truth is, witnessing has always been at the centre of everything I do. It’s a kind of aliveness I feel when I’m in the presence of someone’s truth. Not fixing it. Not analysing it. Just being with it. Letting it live. Letting it breathe. This project was born out of that love. Out of the part of me that wants to slow down long enough to honour the moments that changed us. To draw them. To write about them. To sit with them and say: this mattered. You mattered. You still do.
