uncomfortable

Tomorrow is the opening of the 100 Show at W+K, a global showcase of art and illustration from artists around the globe.

The pieces have been hung and I am still a bit uncomfortable with my submission. It is not bold, complex or daring. It’s quite the opposite. It is soft, whimsical, and cozy. Three words I wouldn’t generally use to describe my photographic style. And for that, I am uncomfortable. 

It is so easy to fall into a trap of comfort, the expected, the known. That when the unknown comes creeping by, I usually scurry away finding security in the shadow of the familiar. 

I’ve spent my life bouncing from one shadow to another and just these past few years, found that the shadows only impede my journey. So here I am, exposed to the elements, to the changes, to the reality that being uncomfortable will only help me arrive to where I want to be. 

Capturing for posterity.

The street art collective Mentalgassi turned this trailer into a camera as part of Amnesty International’s Making the Invisible Visible campaign!

Watch how they made massive photo murals of people’s faces and plastered them around Spain!
