Horizon’s Homeless Art Project

Horizon's Homeless Art Project began when practice manager David Engel gave disposable cameras and journals to five homeless patients and asked them to document life on the streets through their eyes. What resulted was a journey of images, observations and inspirations that far exceeded anyone’s expectations. The patients commented that participating in this project boosted their self-worth and was “more helpful than years of therapy.” Yes, there is depression, drug abuse and hopelessness, but there is also a sense of inner beauty, insight and dignity, despite— and maybe because of— their circumstances. Some artists wanted to remain anonymous; others willingly signed their pictures and their prose; all wanted to share their journeys in hopes of connecting and moving between their world and ours. Warmest thanks to John Catalano who created the composites, and most of all, deepest appreciation to the artists who shared their lives. Horizon Health Center is a healthcare for the homeless program and a division of Wake Health Services, Inc., a Community Health Center in Raleigh, N.C
