Artist Roxana Halls paints twin sisters who survived a crocodile attack in Mexico. In the process, we learn how their attitudes towards body image and family have been affected by the event.

Musician and art collector Tinie matches members of the public with extraordinary stories to a selection of distinctive and celebrated portrait artists. The artists are then challenged to turn these personal and powerful experiences into compelling portraits.

Artist Roxana Halls is known for challenging how art depicts women. She has been given the task of depicting the unbreakable bond between Georgia and Melissa, twins who survived a near-fatal crocodile attack whilst swimming in a lagoon in Mexico. This traumatic event has left its scars and changed their perceptions of body image, family and their own inner strength.
