A Portrait in Pieces~
This image began as a self-portrait, one I chose to deconstruct and rebuild—layer by layer—until it felt more honest. What emerged was a portrait of the fragmentation that creeps into daily life.

The Mirror that Remains~
I came across this image today, one I took in Shanghai many years ago of my daughter when she was about eight. I remember the light that day, the quiet moment we shared, and the way her face softened into stillness. I decided to revisit it, editing it to bring forward a sense of duality—perhaps…

Glimpses of the Unknown~
For tonight’s post, I want to talk about the unknown. And not just the unknown that is the mystery out there, but the unknown in terms of how much we actually don’t know. I had a long conversation with an old friend today, and I realized that we spend a lot of time talking about…

The Wave that Keeps Returning ~
For as long as I can remember, there’s been a dream—a recurring vision that haunted my sleep throughout my childhood. It’s always the same: I am a small child, standing at the edge of the sea, and a massive wave is rising, crashing toward me. The feeling is unmistakable—a mix of awe and fear, so…
