Moments, by definition, are particular periods of importance, influence, or significance. Life with all of its miraculous wonders is blessed with countless moments. Some positive, rain in celebrations and emanate joy. Yet it is the less desirable moments that test our patience, build strength and shape our character. We bathe in our fondest memories, sharing stories with our friends and kin that will echo through time; while it is our darker moments that become a testament to where we have come from and where we have been.

 

These remain filed away, only to be called upon when urgently needed for reference, in times of doubt. Every person photographed for this series represents a moment. They each perform a story they wish to pass on, portraying disparate lives, touching on their distinct experiences and histories. An astonishing journey to discover new homes, this series makes visible our inherent connection to one another.
