Perseverance
As I put my images together these are the things that struck me and connected the dots from image to image......
These images represent, faith, hope, love, perseverance and support, all of the components necessary to live a whole and heathy life with HIV. The epic center of this collection is self love and self expression. This expression of self love resonates through out the spirit of the image and challenge stigma and shame through unapologetic body images.
The red throughout the collection connects the love of self, to the love of those living with HIV/AIDS. The red goes from our heart to the veins of those living with HIV to provide strength and courage to face the day to day struggle of living with HIV.
