ABOUT

“On Skid Row, I met a man boldly wearing a pink wedding dress. His tent had been robbed that night, and the thief had swapped his belongings for the outfit. ‘This is everything I have, all I can carry. Everything is replaceable.’

For six years, I returned to the American West, a region mythologized for its freedom and opportunity, meeting people who defy the norm. ‘The Color of Money and Trees’ became a journey of self-discovery, questioning who we are versus what others expect us to be. The work explores the tension between material success and deeper fulfillment, asking if true prosperity lies in community and self-awareness rather than wealth and possessions.”
