Home with You photography show

September 12, 2025

On September 5, we opened Home with You as part of Corner of the Month: Photography. Curated by Janice Kim, we asked photographers to share photos that meant Home to them.

Samiha Hadeed:
Home is a physical and emotional space. For me it evokes joy and warmth; but also longing, nostalgia, and loss. In my practice recently, water and oceans have emerged as a way to explore what home can mean across time, memory, and Black diasporic identity. Oceans carry both the weight of ancestral loss and the possibility of healing. The ocean is a body that holds other bodies. Its motion is ebbing / flowing / remembering / returning. Waves fold into one another like inherited memories - rising, collapsing, reshaping. In this way, water becomes home for Black folx: not bound by walls or permanence, but by what it carries, holds (embraces), and remembers. 

Isaiah Davis:
To me, “Home with You” brings me thoughts of cozy clothes and hot chocolate in the winter; Spending quality time with those around you during those colder months, whether you’re in your home or in their home: you feel safe and extremely comfortable . I have taken many pictures in these environments, and I love them for being examples of the times we look forward to and the ones we love to reflect on.

Innocencia Sackey:
Home With You” to me means feeling comfortable and at peace in any environment. The theme relates to my work very well, I tend to always take pictures of my friends during intimate moments of our lives. The images I take of them tend to capture that feeling of feeling comfortable around your friends or chosen family no matter where you are.

Maxime Liang:
My work is mostly based around my time spent with family and friends. My interpretation of "home with you" is when I am with people that I love no matter where, I am home.

Anthony Ali:
To me, this theme denotes a feeling of comfortableness and specifically of me-- comfort inside my home. It makes me ask myself the question of what makes home, home to me and what can I show to invoke the feelings of comfort I get from such a space. I shoot a lot of pictures at home that involve mostly still life, or self-portraits. With this theme, I will be submitting work from either of those realms as I think more deeply.

Caroline Cramer:
Home is a feeling you carry with you— 
the people embedded within your soul, 
the places you return to in your dreams.

This work, Mom’s Quilt, mends together old family photos with images from my series Ways of Remembering, stitched onto her nightgowns as the backdrop. I created it to honor her, and to carry home with me wherever I go. 

Kate McCann:
The juxtaposition of home (comfort, warmth, familiarity) and the large scale of our earth (grandeur, wildness) creates tension. These photos remind viewers that even in vastness, we can feel rooted, safe, and connected when we are with ourselves, ones we love, and our shared home, the earth.
