The Black and the White: Jessica Spieth

Meet Jessica Spieth, wife, mother, hippy and founder of the HÓZHÓ project. The HÓZHÓ project is an organization that focuses on stories and photos about real people. Using gorgeous black and white photos of people to highlight their strength and beauty in the midst of heartache, Jessica tries to take the shame out of pain. Hers is a project that is dependent on the willingness of others to share – share their pain, share their suffering, share their thoughts, and share their beauty.
This Stuff of Heaven

Brothers and husbands and sisters and wives and parents, all stricken with unique physical, mental and spiritual ailments, in manifest as we grow older. All of us trailing difficult histories. And all of us clenched with particular anxieties and worries about the imminent future. And with our particular load, or perhaps in part of our individual pain, there felt a wedge, a wall around each of us, the wall pronouncing, “All of you don’t understand how hard and rough and relentless life has been for me.” Each one of us eager to feel validation for our personal life struggle.
