“Just People” is a series of portraits on paper, focused on older individuals whose expressions felt full of life, emotion, or unspoken stories. These portraits invite the viewer to pause and consider the stories held in someone else’s face. Though the people are unknown to me, their expressions feel familiar, vulnerable and real. The work reflects on how a single glance can carry a lifetime – and how even strangers can leave an emotional impression. Opening Reception: May 21, 2026 5:00-7:00 pm
