Jai DuVal (b. 2002, Silver Spring, MD) makes photographs that honor intimacy as a site of power. Her work insists on the sacredness of looking with love. It is in this space that the act of creation itself becomes a form of homecoming.
In weaving together material and memory, DuVal offers an evolving portrait of what it means to be held by history and still move forward. Her work stands as both testament and invitation: a call to see belonging not as something to be found, but as something to be made, again and again, through the tender labor of attention and care.
