For some time now, LGBTQ+ families have been labeled as “non-traditional”, as opposed to “traditional” (families with opposite-sex parents).

The individual polaroids that make up the collages represent various elements of identity; fragmentation made whole.

The series has been featured in exhibitions in the United States and Mexico.
