Sanctuary (2023-ongoing) is a series of intimate portraits of queer, trans, and non-binary individuals in their living spaces, celebrating the diversity of experiences within the LGBTQIA+ community. Amongst the sitters are Abby, a transgender rabbi; John, a bisexual survivor of police brutality; Chase, the first transgender attorney to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court; Pamela, a Latinx sex worker; and Jeremy, a non-binary fashion designer living on the road, to name a few.

To create these portraits, Ginzburg spends time with each individual, engaging in conversation to capture authentic moments that reflect their true selves and the environments they have crafted. The interiors become as important as the people, creating an archive of objects and memorabilia that further tell the narrative of the queer and trans experience.

In these portraits, everyone is free to exist in their truth, away from the threats of police violence, systemic homophobia, and politicized transphobia that remain deeply rooted in American society. As the current administration escalates efforts to erase trans existence through executive orders and policy rollbacks, restricting access to healthcare, gender recognition, and basic civil rights, it is more urgent than ever for this community representation to exist and be seen.
