"Take Heart - A Cape Cod Love Story"
 

“Take Heart” is a large-scale exhibition of photographs captured on Cape Cod during the pandemic by local photographers Rachael Sokolowski and Suz Karchmer. The artists describe the project as a “non-traditional love story.” During 2020-2024, community love was expressed through public displays of handmade hearts, crafted from everyday materials, including wooden palettes and paint stirrers. The images of the creative ingenuity of a Cape Cod community embody messages of love, compassion, encouragement, and even outrage against injustice, during a time marked by crisis, conflict, and isolation. They also serve as a powerful reminder of the compassion and possibilities that surfaced during the pandemic, reflecting resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
