For the past 8 months, I’ve been traveling around the country to photograph survivors of gun violence and the family/friends of victims. By shining a respectful and genuine light on diverse stories of grief, trauma, and loss – and showing how the epidemic extends far beyond communities in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles – I hope to allow viewers to see themselves and their families in the hardships of others.
The ultimate goal is to have the work seen and felt by a large audience… and to have it connect with them on an emotional level so that they become motivated to get involved in gun violence prevention and help create meaningful change.
