I am a writer, a photographer and an on-again-off-again collage artist. I do these things because without them, I forget my memories. Both essay and photography help me capture the moments that are important and the images of home. It is the way I journal and the way in which I have learned to value my life. Collage is therapy. This is where I process emotion in abstraction to evaluate my experience in order to decide what I’ve learned. These activities teach me to live and to remember why life is important: it simply is. Life is for itself and for no other reason.
