Ashley Inguanta is a contributing artist for SmokeLong Quarterly and has photography featured in Redivider. She has a growing portfolio on Vogue Italia’s Web site, Vogue.it. “The way time and layers come together to create certain energies — that is what I explored in this set. Each subject here is also a friend of mine. There are layers between us, layers of closeness, shared experience. When I photographed these women, we experienced the moment together and as individuals. I wrapped them each in my energy, and they wrapped me. We didn’t speak much, but we moved together. We all carry the layers of our lives with us. In my need to wrap, to cover, to fold, I find privacy — and I also find that the world slows, becomes simply what is dearest.”
