I was off ig during the 1 year anniversary of Pepper’s passing but I journaled about her and wore her clothes that day. These are a few photos from her memorial last year and of a shirt she wore in some of the last images we ever made together. I love you so much Pepper 🕯️ until we meet again.

⭐️ This Friday ⭐️

Paradise is a Place in your Head is the 5th installment of Saint’s ongoing series of group photo shows at Millennium. Inspired by Nan Goldin’s Ballad of Sexual Dependency, these shows incorporate slideshow projection and music, combined with gallery presentation of photos hanging on walls. This edition is a collaboration with guest co-curator Charles Caesar and features work by 15 photographers.

Paradise Is a Place in Your Head brings together a collection of photos that navigate the sacred and the surreal. Across these images, personal mythologies come to life utilizing everything from traditional portraiture to unconventional, documentarian grit. Familiar environments are reframed as dreamlike, distorted, or delicately ominous. Whether through constructed scenes or real life fragments, the works reflect on the dissonance between how we see the world and how we wish to be in it.

A place to land: In Limbo is an evolving series of unstructured hangouts. A bipoc, native New Yorker hosted salon for artists of all mediums. Hoping to be a place for people who want to spend less time online and more time building in-person friendships without the “networking” energy of openings, screenings, or studio visits. Each meeting will evolve to fit our collective desires. Whether that be group journaling, watching films together, critiques, pot lucks, or some parallel play and co-working. Get off your phone, leave your ego at home, and come join us next Monday 🚫📱

Wishing @voxigma.lo, my best friend, my most photographed person, and my family, a very happy 30th birthday. 2025 marks the 10 year anniversary of us meeting each other again as (barely) adults. I was 19 and you were freshly 20 and you were the only person in our English class at BMCC who had good taste in books lol. I didn’t recognize Vox at first but she remembered me from PS22 and told me I was her first kiss and for some reason life decided to reunite us again!

It has been a blessing to experience life by your side- from writers guild to zines to photography to one vvoman show to Sylvester and all of our other creative projects we’ve supported one another through. I look forward to seeing what you create in this next decade of life and to many more silly phone calls and noises with you. Time flies. Awawawa- I love you endlessly ❤️‍🔥

I’ll love and miss you forever, Pepper 💔🕯️🌶️ I hope you know how much having you as a friend changed me. I don’t think I’ll ever meet another soul as kind as yours. Thank you for your trust, your love, and your endless warmth. I have so much to say about you that I couldn’t possibly fit it all in this little box. Hoping you find peace as you transition from this life into the next 🥀
