portraiture in homelessness

A Visual Chronicle of Humanity, Dignity, and Divine Fragments.

 

This collection presents hundreds of portraits captured over months of walking, talking, and connecting with the homeless and hungry in South Florida. What began as a single encounter with a man named Bill – a moment of compassion, curiosity, and spiritual inquiry – unfolded into a profound body of work exploring the faces, stories, and spirits of those living on society’s margins.

 

These portraits are not about poverty alone – they are about presence.
They are about the spark of God within every human being, the quiet grace of survival, and the beauty that persists amid brokenness. Each face tells a story of pain and perseverance, of despair and dignity, of longing and light.

 

Through this ongoing series, I invite viewers to see beyond the label “homeless” – to see the divine fragments, the glimmers of hope and humanity, that live in every soul. The project continues to grow, not only as documentation, but as an act of reverence – a reminder that the light we honor in another is the same light we awaken in ourselves.

 

These are the portraits of the unseen – of Bill, Possum, Coco, Patty, One-Eye, RayAnne, Kathy, and countless others – captured not merely as subjects, but as reflections of the sacred within us all.
