Dear everything,


Today I witnessed a man in pink and gold. As he searched his pockets, he clung to the sidewalk. Carefully balancing, he searched more and more, yet he found nothing. I began to leave and the man leaned over. He said to me, you shouldn’t look for things in the pockets of people who are also looking for something.

I use images and videos to explore my affection for individuals and characters I encounter. I keep them all close to my heart.
