From Artist Kate Simon

“This is Home” seeks to give a face to those stories, capturing moments of resilience, hope, and the quiet strength that persists in the face of adversity.

We live in a place where history and community are woven into the very fabric of daily life. Yet, within this picturesque setting, there are stories that often go untold—stories of families on the brink, of individuals who move through their days with the weight of instability on their shoulders, and those who choose to help.”

Through my photographs, I invite you to see beyond the surface, to witness the humanity and dignity of those for whom the concept of home is in constant flux. This exhibit is not just about buildings or spaces; it’s about people, their connections, and the places they inhabit. It’s about recognizing that home is more than a physical structure—it’s a sense of belonging, safety, and stability that everyone deserves.
