Past Exhibits
Transcending Love offers an intimate glimpse into the relationships of transgender, non-binary, and gender nonconforming couples across the USA with hopes to open hearts and minds to a community long-deserving of respect and basic human rights.
The project was begun in response to the aggressive bigotry being levied by the previous political administration and the general lack of understanding and acceptance by our society.
Visibility matters. For the transgender community, it is validating. But it is also means to educate the broader population.
These photographs hope to open that door by showing that it is the heart and soul of a person that truly matters and that everyone is worthy of the love they truly deserve.The subjects show an array of relationships, all with the common thread of people being their true, authentic selves and falling in love.
