The experiences in my life have led me to a burdened heart. I am lucky enough to have an incredible amount of blessings, joy, support, and success in my life. I am far beyond luckier than most. And because of that, I feel an incredible responsibility. My heart is burdened with the horror and the evil that exists in this world. I am acutely aware of the suffering that exists in this world, and I am extraordinarily sensitive to it. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This can easily be used to illustrate the correlation between my understanding of the world and my empathy for others and its translation into my photography. Because I have this deep, gut-wrenching sadness for all the suffering that exists, I have an even greater desire to make a difference. To create real change.
