Sanctuary (2023–ongoing) is a photographic series that explores the domestic landscapes of queer, trans, and non-binary individuals across the United States. Through intimate portraits, the project highlights the diverse lived experiences within the LGBTQIA+ community. Among the sitters are Abby, a transgender rabbi who left her Hasidic upbringing; John, a bisexual survivor of police brutality; Chase, the first transgender attorney to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court; Pamela, a Latinx sex worker; and Jeremy, a non-binary fashion designer living nomadically, to name a few.

Each portrait emerges from a collaborative process grounded in trust and conversation, allowing sitters to present themselves with agency and intention. The surrounding interiors, filled with personal objects, textures, and signs of daily life, become integral to the image, offering a layered narrative of identity, memory, and survival.

While each photograph centers on a single individual, together they form a collective portrait of chosen family, revealing how queer, trans, and gender nonconforming communities are bound by shared experiences of survival, care, and kinship. By inviting the viewer into these private spaces, the series reveals a counter-narrative to the mainstream stigmatization of queer and trans lives, one grounded in autonomy, intimacy, and the sustaining power of community.
