Birth & Becoming

Every beginning carries many histories.

Beginnings are rarely a single moment. They are the long work of arriving into a body, a name, a language, a city. These photographs sit with emergence — the first breath of self-recognition, the tenderness of being new somewhere, the courage it takes to keep starting. Birth here is not only origin but the continual act of becoming, repeated daily, in public and in private.
