I had the pleasure attending The Supermodel Project’s first event before New York Fashion Week

It’s almost the end of summer, I’ll miss the still water

“Vines of Agape” featured on Mob Journal Magazine Vol. 58 Issue No. V



•An ode to the exploration of intimacy — with oneself, nature, and with invisible threads that hold us together. Photographed in film at a vineyard in Southold, New York. 

My main channel for this draws from the vineyard not only for its landscape, but its metaphor: Love, like the row of vines grows slowly, patience. It weaves. Love is not static — it’s a living, evolving force. It takes on many forms. To wear love is to explore it in texture, in stillness, in solitude. To stand its terrain, and let it climb you. 

Love in this lens isn’t just romantic it’s spiritual, existential, sensual and rooted in self acceptance. You present love not just a feeling, but as a place one walks through, dress up for, or simply become.
