Frances is a beaming light. On this day, she was open and vulnerable in front of my camera as we spoke about her braces coming off (soon), her good-luck charms, our mutual inspirations. She’s wise beyond her years and it shows in her art. Normalizing periods, asking questions, challenging norms… her work is dripping with everything beautiful and heart-wrenching about growing up. She connects you to a feeling of nostalgia. It snowed the rest of the day.
