BFA Photography

ARTIST STATEMENT: As a person who has a stutter, I wanted to create a series that allowed those who are restricted to express themselves with no limitations. Six of the images consist of a different person and their way of expressing their feelings about their disability, along with three texture images of things that bring them comfort. There is not much talk about the effects of these disabilities, big or small, and I want to put an end to the silence. This work is going to give a voice to those with any sort of disability through the use of a photograph; letting the audience see into our world and each individual’s mind.
