Presence
Laura Peshek
Visual Communication Design, 2018
Imagine being constantly terrified that you can never tell anyone who you really are because you’re afraid of being fired by your employer or kicked out and hated by your own family? It’s time for the world to step up and listen to the LGBT+ community.
The presence project is a photographic documentation of people who identity anywhere on the LGBT+ spectrum. The goal of the project is to humanize the diverse LGBT+ community to help show the experiences they face on a daily basis, thus giving a voice to them. These stories inspire and empower LGBT+ folks to lend their own voices to the community and engage others to help foster an inclusive environment for LGBT+ people.
Laura Peshek is a hardworking and creative problem solver. She enjoys combining both photography and graphic design in her work. She loves to challenge herself and push her creative thinking. When Laura is away from her computer, she is snow skiing, wake boarding, rock climbing, taking photos, or spending time with family. She is extremely passionate about traveling and experiencing new cultures.
