Jennifer Magruder, Introduction

I always see pictures as streaming movements of events. A seemingly boundless labyrinth where there is only forward and experience, I can't see beyond it.

I search for a presence to stay with me, but most seem to find their way out on their own. Whenever I think I can escape, I encounter a delicate edge, an uncomfortable view. I visualize what it would be like, but the fear cuts me off, and I return to...

Jillian Guyette, Introduction

I’ve spent years trying to reconcile my relationship to home through pictures. While spending an enormous amount of time watching the people and space around me change and grow, I had forgotten to look at myself.

Thoughts of my abrupt departure from the place I’ve spent years feeling safe in ignited conflicting emotions, and a sense of exhilaration for the new life ahead of me. I wanted to keep a transition that lasted only moments alive and breathing afterwards.

                                                Leaving became just as important to me as the history I’ve left

behind.

Kassaundra Porres, Introduction

I am a consequence of displacement. I have lived according to its rules and have adjusted to surroundings and situations at its whim. With each change I reevaluated myself and the comfort I previously created, only to be forced to repeat the process.

These photographs are my perception of moments; moments which were experienced differently by all who took part in them, but can only now be revisited in the way I choose to show. I have grown to no longer allow displacement to hold me captive. I am creating for myself a life, freeing myself despite its attempts to resurface through the fears and lack of security it has provided me with.

This is my response to displacement.
