“dear reader,

the following is a journey of self-exploration, a release of shame, & a comfort in self. the past 3 years have been riddled with growth at what felt like an accelerated rate; this portfolio displays the vices thru which i found escapism & beauty, simultaneously. i thank you for sharing your time with me, & i hope you enjoy experiencing a shifting, youthful perspective on sex, love, empathy, & the living one can experience when they—for once—look up.

sincerely,

faith Q; faith’s lens photography”
