We Keep Swimming

“The title encapsulates my realization of how tethered I am to all of the women who came before me, and how that tether evolves as I raise my daughter. When I found the title, it spoke so clearly and cohesively to the main through line of the work- that women are born with all of the eggs we will ever carry, in essence it means that we lived for a time in the womb of our grandmother.” – Photographer Jillian Guyette on her debut book We Keep Swimming, Until We All Reach Home

Luupe photographer Jillian Guyette’s debut photobook, We Keep Swimming, Until We All Reach Home (Daylight Books), is a meditation on lineage, belonging, and the unseen rhythms that connect generations of women. With a moving foreword by Elinor Carucci, the book reframes how we see motherhood and grandmotherhood, celebrating their intimacy and strength. We caught up with Jillian to learn more about how becoming a mother cracked her open creatively, how intuition guided her process, and how her daughter shaped the work in unexpected ways.

Jillian has created this licensable collection of stock imagery that includes a selection of companion images that extend the spirit and energy of the book.
