Together We Stand

The message released by Vogue this month.
"Heartbreaking.
Hopeful.
But mostly surreal.
If you can make it through this month’s issue of Vogue Magazine without crying, you’re not understanding the brevity of the shift.
Such a profound message to the global community.

On behalf of myself as a contemporary artist and the art world as a whole, thank you for doing this, VOGUE."
