The catalyst for Right Where We Are was witnessing geopolitical decisions and domestic insecurities, ultimately leading me to seek out the solace of my community. I was heavily inspired by Brandon Stanton's "Humans of New York" series, and wanted something of my own to serve as a tangible memory and trove of advice for both the present and the future. Behind the work itself was an equally, if not more, important part – spending time with the people I love. Each portrait was a singular moment within a deep conversation, many of them lasting hours. Using my time to be with people who care about me has always been the key factor to my wellbeing, and the driving force behind my motivation to keep trying to make this world better than how I found it.
