FAMILY (Fam, I Love You) - National Museum of Bermuda

“Putting together FAMILY (Fam, I Love You) was a beautiful labour of love, a therapeutic experience I didn’t know I needed. To anyone who gets the chance to experience this collection of photos, I invite you to take a moment to reflect and be mindful of how you show up in the world and how you show up for others.”

Jayde Gibbons
