“Pas De Deux” with @qveensolo

a revered dance for two, photographed by me, 2025.

like euphoria, almost seductive.
sultry,
vibrance,
resonance.

it’s this feeling
that just reminds you,
grounds you,
back into being.
flowing

life reflects you always. divine

[monday 03.09.26] what if i stopped denying myself the pleasure that is me?

the art in my ways,
the love in my gaze,
there’s so many days,
opportunities to wake up and decide there is no right way.
nothing to prove,
no right or wrong move,
just the art of being, loving, expressing, fully.

what if i am love itself?

#pregnancyjourney #motherhood #maternityphotoshoot #selfawareness #consciousness

i never thought i wanted to see myself in motherhood until i felt your call. your spirit nudging on mine and your fathers. i never considered myself a nurturer or caretaker, until i realized how i’ve learned to carry myself, love myself, create enough space for myself, through every moment. maybe this whole time i was making space for you. i’ve never appreciated presence as much as i do now.

thank you for choosing us and trusting us to bring your soul earthside, my son, our love🪞

[sunday 2.22.26] what are words, if not noise?

what is fear, if not truth we haven’t yet learned to accept?

what is “truth”, if not the denial of love in all?
me in all.
you in all.

y’all
you all
(u)all

i love the way u are. the sun, the skies, the seas, and every breath in between

Learning how to create art within an institutional structure has been a deep devotional practice of self love, inviting me to meditate on what it looks like to show up fully in this world, authentically.

I believe the experience of being an artist is meant to destroy the many illusions of what we’ve been told this experience of life is by communicating the authentic truth found in our lived experiences. For me, it’s not about what’s directly in the photograph, it’s about the emotional landscape that contextualizes it.

This experience thus far has challenged me to embody a life of unapologetic honesty & freedom, living my truth outside of the expectations of others. I’ve come to realize that it’s never really been about finding my voice, as much as it is about being able to distinguishing myself from the noise of the world, and simply allow my voice to be heard. I’m very grateful for the space that @scaddotedu has allowed me to do so 🐝💛

Hi everyone :) My name is Jasmyn Saia ( @sayyahwave ), I am a second year MFA student on the Atlanta campus, and am originally from Phoenix, Arizona. My work explores the movement of energy and the subtle forces shaping our perception and human experience. 

The act of creating for me is a very intuitive, meditative process. Through photography, video, writing, and sound, I document self awareness and nature’s rhythm, inviting others to witness themselves more fully.

As I continue to develop my interdisciplinary thesis titled “Love & War”, my current body of work contemplates how freedom is felt and resisted in the body, mind, and spirit. Not only an expression of both my emotional and spiritual landscape, this work also interrogates the ideals of freedom as they are constructed in the United States, situating my lived experience as a Black woman in America within these contradictions.
