yes | and

leaning in

losing ground

reaching

alight

woven light

finding a way

towards what end

the way isn’t clear

we can’t go this alone

rising up

swept away

shedding light

down to the bone

About this series

The photographs in this series are bound together with thin golden line as if by kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold. The resulting diptychs become vessels that hold our hurt and our hope. There is healing to be found in holding multiple truths in our awareness at the same time. By doing so, we get to practice wholeness. With practice, we find our way.

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.

This series was originally completed in 2022. Three new images were added in 2025.
