Our presence is vital and this series is a representation of that notion.

Investigation themes of visibility and home, every piece aims to bring us all closer to the source; remembering what truly matters. “ –Alima Lee Week 4: Sydney Canty Exploring ways in which the body can squeeze juice out of a lemon without the use of hands, Syd recounts seemingly mundane events in their life that ultimately shaped the person they are today in this time-based self portrait.
