connection collection
The Connection Collection is one very near and dear to our hearts. Throughout our adolescence, we have continuously observed the beauty in diversity. Our friend group, specifically, has always been a safe space for each of us. We are all unique in our own way; all are from different backgrounds, all choose to express ourselves in different ways. While these traits make us different, there’s a common thread that ties us all together. Scroll to see how we chose to capture our beloved community through photos, shot by Puja.

“We wanted everyone to wear white and neutrals to showcase the things that make us different. I think our diverse hair colors, hairstyles, features, and skin tones are stunning and deserve to be showcased. I feel so blessed to have such incredible friends, and the fact that we are all so unique makes our bond more special. None of us ever feels the need to explain our identity, but we all know that we are welcome and accepted. One of our goals with this project is to increase the representation of minorities, creating the kind of media we wish we had seen growing up. I think Puja did an amazing job capturing everyone’s beauty and the love we have for each other.”
