These images are part of Dear Evergreen, an ongoing photography project-turned-magazine that explores identity, connection, and the meaning of home. Centering Queer BIPOC communities in Portland, the series reflects lived experience and lays the foundation for the larger publication.
I chose these twelve photographs to feature in this exhibition because I felt they shared a deep conversation. The arrangement was thoughtfully created as a visual rhythm, weaving one image into the next and occasionally inviting you to step closer to peer further into a moment.
Within these images, home is defined as more than a place. Instead, it emerges through the people we share it with, the objects we choose to surround ourselves with, and the rituals that shape our daily lives. Even when it feels lonely at times, it is the ways we choose to spend time within it that make it feel meaningful.
Together, these photographs become fragments of a shared landscape—one where memory, belonging, and imagination quietly intertwine.
