Sanctuary
(2023-ongoing)Sanctuary explores the domestic landscapes of queer, trans, and non-binary individuals across the United States. Each portrait emerges from a collaborative process grounded in trust and conversation, allowing sitters to present themselves with agency and intention. The surrounding interiors, filled with personal objects, textures, and signs of daily life, become integral to the image, offering a layered narrative of identity, memory, and survival.
While each photograph centers on a single individual, together they form a collective portrait of chosen family, revealing how queer, trans, and gender nonconforming people are bound by shared experiences of perseverance, care, and kinship. By inviting the viewer into these private spaces, the series reveals a counter-narrative to the mainstream stigmatization of queer and trans lives, one grounded in autonomy, intimacy, and the sustaining power of community.
