New York-based photographer Michele Crowe’s series ‘The Universal Family’ explores the diverse concept of family in the US.
Her series features inter-racial, same-sex and single-parent households, all bound by the thread of love and kinship.
“Everyone has a family in some shape or form, and I believe that support system to be one of the most important things in the world. A family can be big or small, blood related or not, same sex oriented or not and of course composed of people with similar or wildly different cultural backgrounds. I believe If you’re lucky, you truly understand that love has no boundaries,” she told My Modern Met.
Crowe is currently raising funds on Kickstarter to turn her project into a book.
