EXPLORE COLLECTION

In this project, my goal is to create a collection of unique conversations, each between two people from different generations. These dialogues will be displayed in text, along with a portrait of the two individuals to capture the spirit and emotion of the interaction. Podcasts of some conversations are also available!

I want to explore themes of change and continuity across different time periods. What are some of the different challenges from each generation? How did specific generational elements affect each person, positively or negatively? Are there recurring patterns across different generations?

Most importantly, I hope that this project helps different people to come together, share a laugh, and realize that maybe they aren’t so different after all.

EXPLORE VIDEOS

When I was little, I used to admire people who could sing and write their own songs. Being able to tell a story or express a feeling through singing seemed so magical. I wished I could do that.

But the truth is, I'm terrible at singing. I like drawing better. And unfortunately, you can't really write songs through drawing...or can you?

These videos are my forms of the "songs" I could never sing. Instead of using song lyrics to communicate, I use many, many simple drawings put together into a story. These videos fulfill my childhood wish of creating works that tell stories and express feelings--without making people listen to my awful singing voice!
