About I Can't Stand to See you Cry
I Can't Stand to See you Cry focuses on the Texan landscape as well as its inhabitants. Through beautiful black and white images, Fortune examines the family dynamics, relationships of friendship and also interactions between strangers. Beyond exploring these relationships, Fortune analyses the environmental, identity-related and health issues present on these Texan communities.
Through his personal experiences, Fortune brings the daily occurrences, the tensions and the joyful moments, as well as the importance of the landscape, to the viewer. He goes back his family's lineage using both, the perspective of an insider and an outsider. We could say Fortune has a deeply personal approach to his images that allows him to connect with history and preserve it through his work.
