“We Keep Swimming Until We All Get Home” by photographer Jillian Guyette

Photographer Jillian Guyette’s series of photos explores intergenerational relationships among women. Guyette, who was raised by a medium and a painter in the Finger Lakes region of New York, earned a bachelor’s degree in fine art photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Her work stems from curiosity about the nuances of family and inherited history, including her own esoteric upbringing:

“When a woman is a four-month-old fetus in her mother’s womb, all of her eggs are formed in her ovaries, meaning that our cellular life began in our grandmothers’ wombs. This piece explores the energy of this connection, as well as my evolving spiritual curiosity. Featuring essays by renowned fine art photographer Eleanor Carlucci and poetry by New York Times bestselling author Kate Bell, this piece is an intimate and wide-ranging collaborative exploration of ancestry and belonging.”

We Keep Swimming Until We All Get Home will be released this month with Daylight Books.
