Jessica Williams' Paper Heart

Jessica Williams is a 20-year-old photographer. Born in Alaska, raised in Texas, and currently cultivating in New York and Sweden, Jessica seems to be blessed with the sort of natural talent that many other aspiring photographers would consider selling their souls for. Her photographs are — as we might expect from from any young artist — introspective and a tad manic-depressive. The difference between Jessica and most of her contemporaries is the immediate emotional reaction that her work asks of the viewer. Whether the subject is a sobbing man or a clothes-line, her simple pictures make you feel something; sometimes something universal, and often something that you can’t even pinpoint. It’s this gift that makes her photos so powerful, and it will likely be this same gift that sends her to the spotlight.
