About this series

I believe every photograph is a vessel - we see what we put into it, and what it holds reflects us back to ourselves. In this series, the photographs are bound together by a thin golden line as if by kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold. They become a series of vessels that hold our hurt, yes, and our hope. There is healing to be found in holding multiple truths in our awareness at the same time, in acknowledging the fullness of this moment, and of each other. By doing so, we get to practice wholeness. There is no way to where we want to go without practice.

This body of work was inspired by a conversation between adrienne maree brown and her sister Autumn Brown, which I heard on their “How to Survive the End of the World” podcast.
