empathy stories + honoring portraits
sharing who we are with warmth, respect, and dignity
my work builds on a foundation of systemic storytelling through empathy interviews and portraits.
the thread that ran through my prior work asked how we can welcome, engage, affirm, and celebrate voices that bring us into shared wholeness.
there is trust, in these explorations, that embracing wholeness moves us into collective healing & well-being.

a community space for hale county.
this book explores the significance of community space in rural alabama. the book is a box of 50 cards with individuals’ portraits on one side & expressions on the other.
we created: a book of empathy interviews / community group / community process / community space / inclusive programming for the space.
this process was a path to explore together ways to co-create safe space for social equity and healing.
our wholeness
honoring our diverse truths, tenderness, power.
this series makes space to welcome people’s vulnerabilities and to support integration. by welcoming and embracing our unique wholeness we create affirming experiences that inspire us to be and celebrate all of who we are.
