This project was born out of an observation.
When I first embraced my Polyamorous identity in 2021, it felt like adding a name to a feeling I’d had forever. I began researching Poly representation, from books to movies to music to podcasts and on and on. And I quickly found that while there was a wealth of fantastic resources created by those with lived and expertly researched experience, much of what was entering the mainstream was not that. It was less than that. It was, simply, one- dimensional.
This project was born from that disappointment.
There is so much beauty in Polyamory, and such incredible diversity in how we, as Polyamorous individuals, show up to the world, that it couldn’t be adequately conveyed with even triple the number of models I have here. But I hope through these wonderful examples you’ll see a different side of Polyamory than you do on Couple to Throuple and through the bickering forces of social media.
