Artist Statement - Heart of MCU
An ongoing initiative, The Heart of MCU, honors Marine Credit Union employees by capturing and sharing their personal and professional stories of courage, compassion, collaboration and commitment - the values MCU encourages and supports in and outside of work.
The idea for the project, created by Caitlin Wilson Master of Art in Servant Leadership student and MCU's Director of Corporate Communications recognized that sharing the story of the organization was best done through capturing and sharing the stories of all who work there - the "hearts" of MCU.
My preference would have been to meet each person interviewed face to face and take intimate portraits for this project. However, due to the remote working conditions during the COVID pandemic, images of each interviewee were limited to "screen shot portraits" taken at the same time as the interviews.
To those I have interviewed....thank you so much for sharing your stories with me. I have been greatly honored to spend this sacred time together and have so much respect and love for each and every one of you.
