These photos are from my series on rural life from the eyes of a Southern queer woman. It’s a visual story about growing up as a weirdo, a punk rock skater girl, and budding artist in a small Southern town; getting away, coming back, and eventually figuring out how to exist as myself while feeling completely alien in this Red State. It’s about learning to love your neighbor even when you have little in common, it’s about acceptance and love, it’s about trying to understand the “other.”
