This work was created in the Summer of 2017. I was hired by The Bridge to create work for their various marketing needs. The Bridge is a non-profit that provides critical services, including supported housing, mental health and substance abuse treatment, case management, and job training and placement, to 2,300 vulnerable New Yorkers each year. My goal was to create a body of work that when viewed - the viewer would be drawn in and experience a connection to the subjects in the photographs -which often times is the opposite reaction people have when occupying the same space as someone with mental health or substance abuse issues.
