One of the portraits from my residency at

Jardin Orange in Shenzhen, China. This was

was a very different process than I am used to.

These were people on the street that we asked

to photograph. It was all very brief, a few frames

and we were done. They are this sort of

cataloging of chance encounters that lasted 2-3

Minutes. So brief that without the photograph

I'm not sure what either of us would actually

remember. That's what's interesting to me about

the intention to create something. That intention

alone actually changes and separates that

moment from all the other moments perhaps

simply because it had a purpose.

I also began collecting these plastic woven bags from around neighborhood and collaging them into the backgrounds of the portraits.
