This weekend I will be having a pop-up exhibit at the AFSP Out of the Darkness Walk for Seattle - Sunday the 13th at 11am. The event is a few hours long, so if you are in the area we will be at Fisher Pavilion in the Seattle Center. The event is an amazing way to connect with others who have been touched by this epidemic, and a wonderful org that is consistently working to spread awareness. I will also be sharing a few words about how its touched my life during the opening ceremony - just before the walk around noon. You can find more information about the AFSP walk and event on the last slide.

I have had the opportunity to share this project in exhibit form many times over the 7 years, so I thought I’d share a few of those moments with you, AS WELL as an unboxing of a few new images I just received today in preparation for Sundays event. It’s always special to see the Faces in this project in print for me. We have gotten so accustomed to seeing things through our screens, having the emotions right in front of you - is a very different and emotional experience.

Thank you to everyone who has given me the opportunity to share my art up until this moment. I am so grateful. *see my REELS to watch the entire full unboxing reel of images for the event!

The suicide of my brother totally changed the trajectory of my life.

I am sometimes asked why someone with a fear of death is doing this kind of work.

It began with the idea that I could save everyone. Thats when my own work truly started I think. Not when I lost my brother, but when I started to lose myself thinking I could connect with EVERY person as a way to help them.

I have been working these past few months writing a new part for a speech I’m delivering in a few weeks and its got me excavating some heavy trauma roots around DEATH.

I was raised to fear death and in a culture that believed talking about it “willed” it, incredibly superstitious. I had a parent that would ask us as small children “What will you do when I die”? Even to the point of older relatives DYING and their siblings not being told for fear they would die too. Looking back, OF COUSE I have trauma roots, DEATH was never spoken about outside of funeral wailing, threats, superstition or lore.

Then when I tried to kill myself at 17, quite severely - it was not spoken about. I was just “sick with a stomach bug” that took me to the hospital. Not another word was spoken.

As I write and let myself feel and move through old things, I am realizing that so much around my fear of death - is because of the amount LOVE I feel. And those BIG feels and heart swells are the moments I try to remember when things feel painful to remember and process.

This work has actually shown me so many moments of LIGHT and JOY. It’s a space where all of the things spoken are the most painful things - and as we get them out of our bodies, we LITERALLY create space to exhale, to smile and to fill with new joy and experiences.

All this to say - I know this page isn’t always the easiest to read, and the stories can bring up difficult roots and blooms to process. Everyone in these photos is doing this same work - so you are NEVER alone.

Death is part of life, and its scary because there are so many unknowns, but I want you to know I am proud of you. You are doing great. Take things in small bites, and listen to your body, because you will find light in the darkness of it all 🖤

Three years ago on this day, I photographed my dear friend Jen for the Faces of Fortitude project. I had a moment, that many people have with their friends struggling that I said to myself “I had no idea they were going through all of this!”. And then I immediately wondered what I could do better to be a better friend and more of a safe space for friends like Jen.

In her session Jen said “I had my legs hanging over the edge out this window thinking I just wanted to be done. I can save the fuck out of anybody. But when it comes to myself I’m like I don’t know what to do I will just stay in bed..”

So many of us are SO good at taking care of others. Feeling like we can SAVE people, when in reality we are taking that energy away from ourselves.

What do you do daily for others that you should be doing for yourself and what is stopping you from doing that thing, right now..TODAY?
