In a world that tries to dehumanize us in so many ways, I don’t want to lose sight of my firm and deep belief that each one of us is a precious child of God. I don’t want the person sitting for me to forget that there’s a light inside of them, that they have value and worth just for being who they are. Maybe most importantly (and probably the biggest challenge) I want you who see these portraits to see and know their humanity too - that they live and love and laugh and lose just as you do - that we all struggle together - that none of us get out of here alive… So we need to root for each other and help each other.
