Devon Reuse, Photography BFA
Interviewed by Karina Scalisi, Photography BFA
A pivotal event in Devon’s life was owning her cat, Little Cat, who made her more empathetic and intuitively find a more nurturing nature of herself. Unfortunately, he passed away, but he had a huge impact on how she saw herself and her future desires. Another pivotal event for her was transferring to SUNY New Paltz, where she met very artisitc and non-judgemental people. This allowed her to open up and create empathetic friendships with others.
She aspires to be someone capable of creating change in the world. The world she wants to see is a world where people treat each other with more empathy and less judgement. A problem she’s currently facing is having the ability to recognize growth that she’s capable of and try to compare herself to others less.
My experience talking, listening, and photographing Devon was very relaxing and an easy thing to do, like we’ve known each other for years.
