This project was born from hearing one word echo again and again:invisible.

That feeling of invisibility shows up everywhere: in Transgender Day of Visibility, in the stories of elderly women, people with disabilities, minorities, middle-aged moms, my own daughter—and in my own life as a widow and single mom. 

A photograph can be more than a pretty image; it can make someone feel TRULY SEEN and invite others to recognize HUMANITY, TENDERNESS, and STRENGTH where they might not have looked before.

This project features raw, largely un-retouched black-and-white portraits of people who know the isolation of invisibility, displayed in everyday community spaces so viewers can encounter them unexpectedly. These images are honest, vulnerable, and deeply joyful—a celebration of the light that exists in every body and every life. My hope is that viewerssee themselves reflected, remember the joy in their own imperfect beauty, and walk away with a renewed sense of presence, humanity, and undeniable joy—anything BUT invisibility.
