Artist's Statement

With Love is about showing those we care about how much they mean to us, never leaving love unsaid. This series of portraits honors eight individuals who have profoundly shaped my life. Created using alternative photographic processes, each portrait is paired with a personalized letter, sharing my gratitude, admiration, and love for them.

This project is dedicated to my dear friend Frankie Guerrero who passed away tragically. There are so many things I wish I could say to him. His loss reminds me of the importance of expressing love no matter how uncomfortable the vulnerability can feel. My art celebrates the people who make our lives extraordinary, encouraging us to embrace the power of connection and the words we too often hold inside.

With love,
Marissa Dumlao
