Baring witness to the daily struggles of his friend Sierra Kiss, Kircher\u2019s latest photo book reveals the myriad ways American systems of care \u2013 from shelters to churches and social services \u2013 have been eroded by chronic underfunding and government policy, failing the women and children most dependent on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOver time, I\u2019ve realised that I gravitate to people who have gone through similar traumas to myself or my family,\u201d\u00a0Kircher told Dazed. \u201cSierra really reminded me of my mother. Their stories are different, but my mother was also young when she had me; she had no support system and suffered abuse from my dad. When I first met Sierra, she had no one. She had lost her mum to an overdose, and her father was in jail for life\u2026 but at its core, this work is really speaking about one person\u2019s experience. I always struggle with broader generalisations, because there are so many women struggling, not getting the help they need, but in this work, I just wanted to be true to Sierra\u2019s experience.

Baring witness to the daily struggles of his friend Sierra Kiss, Kircher\u2019s latest photo book reveals the myriad ways American systems of care \u2013 from shelters to churches and social services \u2013 have been eroded by chronic underfunding and government policy, failing the women and children most dependent on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOver time, I\u2019ve realised that I gravitate to people who have gone through similar traumas to myself or my family,\u201d\u00a0Kircher told Dazed. \u201cSierra really reminded me of my mother. Their stories are different, but my mother was also young when she had me; she had no support system and suffered abuse from my dad. When I first met Sierra, she had no one. She had lost her mum to an overdose, and her father was in jail for life\u2026 but at its core, this work is really speaking about one person\u2019s experience. I always struggle with broader generalisations, because there are so many women struggling, not getting the help they need, but in this work, I just wanted to be true to Sierra\u2019s experience.
