LEAN ON ME (2023) depicts two friends in a moment of soothing. One friend comforts the other as the two exist in the strange space between teens and adults – the moments where folks physically present as adults but don’t quite feel there. LEAN ON ME celebrates the power of friendship and support, and it highlights the comforting aspect of a safe space.
