SUMMARY
An offering to all beings tending to fractured roots, whether fractured by diaspora or erasure. Through the project I hope to make us more visible to each other as embodied spirits and to continue holding a vision of a country and a world that is free from state-sanctioned violence and the horrors of the carceral system while speaking honestly about the realities of the present moment and the need for full decriminalization of our communities.


I organized the book using 5 Element Theory, a component of Traditional Chinese medicine. Each element phase: Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, and Fire, has a corresponding virtue: Trust, Courage, Gentleness, Kindness, and Happiness. The primary subjects of these photographs – professional sex workers – by the nature of their work, embody and lead with these virtues which make the world a more harmonious place.
