Make it work

I'm part of the generation in the United States that was sold the idea of an American Dream built on hustle, productivity, and identity bound to the value of your paycheck. Within that hustle, in which I am a participant, I push myself to find moments of artistic clarity, capturing the daily beauty around me and the wonderous gift that is family, bond, and growth. My identity as a father is critical to my work, both by my overwhelming passion for nurturing a new generation of creatives but also by necessity. I simply don't know how to dismiss that one of the greatest wonders in this world is the blossoming of human beings and our privilege to see it firsthand, like watching celestial stars being born.
