#WeAreOrlando #TearAwayWalls "Pulse was my home and my beginning, taken in the blink of an eye and scarred for the rest of my life. We are strengthened by love and understanding. No one has the right to decide who lives and dies in a world where we only have one and that one life can affect so many we know. I live on for the ones we lost and strive to make this world a better place." -Axel Andrews The creators of the project, as allies and members of the queer community, were in shock that a space of refuge where people could finally be themselves around like-minded spirits and supportive friends was attacked. With @TearAwayWalls we wanted to not only hear the stories that are being told by people associated with the tragedy, but also capture and convey what remnant energy may still be attached to them personally. We hope this project inspires love and support to the community of Orlando. #OrlandoStrong #OnePulse #LoveIsLove #Model: @axelandrews88 #Photographers: @StevenTrumon @GINGERB3ARDMAN #Makeup: @MakeupArtByNoel ( makeup assistant @melissacintronmua ) #Retouch Collab: @by.zarin #Studio Space @macbeth_studio #PulseOrlando #LoveWins #LGBTQ #Equality #GayPride #PrideMonth #GaysAgainstGuns #LoveTrumpsHate #ArtAgainstHate #MakeupArtByNoel #THEGINGERB3RDMEN

#WeAreOrlando #TearAwayWalls With the adversity our country has faced both past and most apparently presently, we have to support our communities and bring awareness for one another. For this special edition of @TearAwayWalls we were given the opportunity to collaborate with survivors of the Pulse tragedy, in addition to Orlando community activists. Kate and Axel (survivors) as well as Blue Star were so generous to share their experiences with how they overcame and have worked to strengthen a wounded community in a time of crisis. We are very thankful to have been able to be a part of their healing through art.
