Documenting your life , the vulnerability of saying yes.
J. was turning a new leaf after years spent in Montreal, building a community, relationships, a career. She was setting off alone to South America, not to start from scratch, but to continue becoming the version of herself she had purposefully chosen.

Photography is vulnerable. It’s an intimate exchange of trust. It breaks self image wide open. I know that feeling. That the shape of you is wrong. It’s the feeling that is wrong, not the shape. And the more I hear it the more I understand that it’s rarely, truly coming from the core being of the person in front of me. It’s taught. We are taught to pick ourselves apart. Yet each time I hear some version of 'let me hide', it’s still jarring.
