ARTIST STATEMENT:
In political discourse, the humanity of individuals often gets overlooked. With legal challenges to the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community increasing almost daily—particularly regarding the right to marry—my goal with this portrait series is to highlight the human beings whose lives are impacted by politics, policy, and law.
