ISILY

I Said I Love You,
and It's OK

We don't talk about our feelings much, if at all. This is what happens when we try anyway.

ISILY is a collection of letters to the men who shaped me, paired with a portrait of each one, part photograph, part my own hand. Brothers I chose. Men who taught me things they never had the words for at the time. Some of what I wrote them is gratitude. Some of it is grief that took years to find a voice. All of it is something I should have said out loud a long time ago.

This isn't a confession. It's a room where the mask comes off.
