Queer Time Capsule Project Statement
Queer Time Capsule is a living archive—an evolving record of our queer existence, shaped by the people living it. It holds our stories, the truth of our lives, and the promise that we won’t be forgotten.
Artist Statement
For over a decade, photographing the queer community has been central to my work—capturing bold, courageous portraits rooted in joy and self-expression. I’ve traveled the globe with the sole purpose of making sure we are seen, exactly as we are. However, in today’s world, the stakes have changed. We are in danger. At this moment in time, our very existence is under attack. This administration is using fear- based false narratives to fuel hatred and the erasure of our community. The unbearable weight of the hate directed at us is heavy and hard to bear, yet there is a feeling of urgency to take action. How do we find motivation to fight back and be strong? Where do we even start? We need each other now more than ever, we need to be seen and celebrated! Queer Time Capsule is an act of resistance and self-love. It is a way to say: we are here, we have always been here, and we will be remembered on OUR terms. This project seeks to document what’s real and true to us, how we love, how we hurt, and how we stand strong in the face of those who wish us harm. This is a call to action: Join me in the greatest act of resistance in today's world - help me celebrate and document QUEER people and their legacy. Share your story and what makes you uniquely you, document your queerness, and speak your truth. We deserve to be seen, celebrated, and remembered exactly as we are. Our stories must be documented, we will not be erased!
