Documentary
Once, as I was waiting in line at a McDonald’s drive-through, a man walked up to me and asked, “Sir, can I please have five dollars?”
I gave him twenty not because I wanted to, but because I was scared. It’s silly because right after, I went back to ask him how he’s been — out of curiosity. Wiping away tears, he told me the story of his life.
That encounter persuaded me to make this documentary.
Homelessness — a socioeconomic phenomenon, a human tragedy. For many, it’s a story of choice. For others, it’s a story of chance.

Photography
Breathing and noticing, thinking and doing. Photography allows me to tap into an inner “flow state.“
But questions remain: Who are these people, places, and things that I see? What are their stories? Why am I the observer?

Using generative AI, this project illustrates the transfiguration of an artistic idea through different creative processes. Although people fear that AI will take on a life of its own, perhaps it can fulfill what people once could only hope, by actualizing the stories they imagine.
