Photojournalism

On January 21, 2017, hundreds of thousands converged on Washington, D.C. for the Women’s March, an event that stands among the largest demonstrations in American history. My photographs from that day are not mere records of a crowd; they are visual essays on resilience, conviction, and solidarity, inscribed in faces, gestures, and signs.

Through the act of framing, I sought to hold in tension the immensity of collective action and the intimacy of individual presence. Expansive views render the march as a living body of democracy, while close portraits dwell on the hand-lettered language of protest, the knitted pink hats elevated into symbols, and the unwavering expressions of those who came to assert their voice. Each image is at once singular and plural, carrying both the personal and the collective, the momentary and the historic.

This body of work affirms the transformative power of public assembly, the way ordinary citizens claim space, reconfigure it as a stage for democracy, and inscribe their presence into history. It stands as both document and witness, a testament to the enduring force of civic participation and to the voices that, on that January day, refused silence and became part of a shared call for justice.
