Withstand follows on the heels of a summer of unrest; a summer full of anger, fear, and cries to be heard. Interviewing and photographing members of the Black community against this backdrop, I asked them to share how the images they have been exposed to growing up have affected them. Through this collaboration, we unpack the impact of our contemporary culture’s dominant iconography. Moreover, in asking members of the Black community to share their stories, I am contributing to a larger conversation that demands that our experiences be given space and validity.
