from the streets to the heart

In New York's West Village, 33,000 people walked through the outdoor exhibition that left them breathless. They stopped. They stared. They cried. A mother came every day, whispering stories to her children, as each face became someone familiar. From every corner of the world, strangers felt an unexpected tug, a reminder of how fragile we all are. This is why I’m bringing these stories online—so they can cross oceans, reach hearts, and remind each of us that when we look at others, we are also searching for ourselves.

For three years, I roamed the streets of New York, drawn to the shadows where 30 remarkable LGBTQIA+ individuals lived. My project, "From the Streets to the Heart," aims to unveil the often-overlooked stories of these incredible souls. Have you ever truly seen someone living on the streets? Not just glanced, but truly felt their story resonate within you?

Imagine feeling unheard and unseen, your existence overshadowed by the world. This exhibition honors the strength and resilience of those who face this every day, challenging us to confront the perceptions that keep them hidden. By showcasing their true selves, we weave a tapestry of connection that inspires change, understanding, and empathy. In seeing them, we might just rediscover a part of ourselves we've long forgotten.

Join me on this journey. Feel their stories. Be moved. Purchase your ticket to this virtual exhibition, and become part of the change.
