"On the National Language: The Poetry of America's Endangered Tongues" is a conceptual exhibition project intended to raise awareness of endangered language revitalization programs in the United States, created fully in collaboration with speakers of those languages and underlying cultural organizations supporting the efforts, highlighting some of the inherent poetry in these endangered languages through conceptual photographic portraits extracted from underlying concepts to illustrate the beauty of what these languages contain and that we all risk losing.
