The HOLD ME DEAR project is an online curated gallery of poignant stories and beautiful photographs of the places most treasured by individuals around the world. I founded Hold Me Dear in 2014 to visually showcase those places personally valued by a diverse range of people globally.

Whilst Hold Me Dear is primarily a website gallery online, it is currently being physically exhibited at Testing Grounds creative outdoor space in Melbourne for 5 weeks until June. Come down and check out the submissions to the exhibition at the closing party - 6pm on Friday 30 May complete with photographic projections, open fires and an outdoor container bar - at the Testing Grounds site.
