For the Women We Are

I think about all the women who have come before us, the lives they lived, the things they carried, and the stories that were never told. I think about the quiet bonds between women. The tenderness, the sorrow, the love, and the strength we sometimes find in one another. About the parts of ourselves that are difficult to explain, but somehow understood by someone else. There is so much we carry. Some of it belongs to us, some of it has been passed down through generations. Some of it we may never find the words for. These photographs are a tribute to women, to our connection with one another, to nature, and to the lives we live in all their beauty and complexity. To the women before us. To the women beside us. And to the women we are.
