My cousin William is one of those people that carries a good energy with him anywhere he goes. His energy is like fire, bringing out the best in people in any space he enters. He has a great capacity to love and feel emotions. I know anyone who knows him would agree. He has played a crucial role in my life and I know so many would say that. This continuous series and archive operates as a way for me to capture William and the ways he navigates the world as a Vietnamese-American, non-verbal teenager. I have had the privilege of growing up alongside this wonderful human. He has taught me what it means to be a friend and how much capacity humans have to love.This archive has also given me the opportunity to expand on what it means to include the subject in the image making process. William helped me print most of the black and white prints in the this series and helped set up most of the portraits.
