over the holidays, i took some photos of my younger sisters in traditional seminole clothes. i photographed dante in a patchwork skirt at the old seminole baptist church across the parking lot that used to be my pre-school. some of the photos were featured in apogee journal's
#nodapl #still here: native and anti-colonial craft against dispossesion december issue. it was eerie, a quiet + gorgeous piece of land heavy with memories, not all mine.
tia + i decided to do a photo shoot one breezy florida winter day with our dad's old traditional shirt. one of the photos was featured in a piece i wrote for i-D called "
beyond braids: the true story of indigenous hair." our dad loved photography + was always following us around with a camera or recorder. we like to remember + honor him in as many ways as we can.
