"As the photographer for this project, my intention was to capture an honest portrayal of each participants' journey and to humanize the topic of homelessness. What touched my heart the most was how held and cared for each participant felt by the process. What often emerged was an authentic sense of dignity and personal triumph, contrasted by deep concern for those still on the street. Artistically, I am drawn to raw emotion and real stories. This often takes me into communities that have been neglected by our society; In the United States, you don’t have to go far. I hope this installation leads people to question the larger cultural constructs that lead to homelessness and be present with the feelings that arise."
