as our bodies lift up slowly
as our bodies lift up slowly

There isn’t a lot of space for dreaming in an oppressive world, so I use photography as a tool to create worlds where I freely navigate the various facets of my life experience and identity as a black queer woman. In this body of work titled "as our bodies lift up slowly," I reflect upon my Haitian Catholic upbringing, the effects of generational trauma, and the relationships that have nurtured my growth. I weave the viewer between the past and present using archival family photographs, text, collages, and environmental portraits. Read the full artist statement here.
