Curator’s statement
Jackson Hole holds a special place in my heart due to the cherished memories I've created there. Every summer, my family and I embark on a journey to this captivating destination, making it a tradition that's etched into our hearts. It's not just a vacation spot; it's a sanctuary where we can collectively escape the demands of reality and find solace in the breathtaking landscapes. The allure of Jackson Hole lies not only in its natural beauty but also in the deep-rooted Western culture that permeates every corner. From rodeos that transport us back in time to the warm hospitality of the locals, immersing ourselves in this culture feels like stepping into a different world altogether. Jackson Hole isn't just a place on the map; it's a realm where cherished moments, familial bonds and the captivating Western spirit intertwine to create an experience that is truly extraordinary to me.
