In my current project, the featured artists aren’t just subjects—they are close friends and peers with whom I’ve shared four years of college, triumphs, and challenges. The trust and familiarity I have with these individuals, I can capture their stories in a way that feels both intimate and true to their experiences. I’m not just an observer; I’ve lived many of the same experiences and shared countless moments with them, which fosters a unique openness in front of the camera. I want to highlight the richness and diversity of our community, whose stories are often overlooked in mainstream media.
