Portrait: Honorable Mention 2024 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Deonte dreams of being a model.
He's manifesting dreams that reach beyond his car, the space that he and his husband currently have to call their own. Deonte doesn't call it "sleeping rough," he calls it #vanlife because he understands that you can still find positivity, light, and beauty streaming through a car window looking out onto the world.
As he waits for his moment, not even the confines of his car, the challenges houselessness brings, nor the imperfect wrinkles on my canvas (that somehow poetically matched his pants) can dim his light.
Destined for more, he dreams.
He manifests.
