Gradual Ascent is a year-long project that invited twelve photographers to reflect on obstacles, changes, and joys throughout one particular month. The month-long format provided an opportunity to share the ebb and flow of how individuals processed and found their way during the second year of the pandemic. Their perspectives are an acknowledgment of our varied and ever-changing situations, offering moments of connection and meaning as we slowly emerged from a time of great uncertainty.
