Wondering

A poem written after interviews about a compass

What do I want to do?
Who do I want to be?
Where do I want to go?
How do I want to get there?


Everyone have their own opinion.
But how many time will we agree?
Can we meet in the middle?
I can go further if you can’t come to the middle.


I want to follow my passion.
Where it will lead me?
I hope it does not lead me to a dead end.
Let’s go outside to explore.

 

Filled with excitement,
I am ready to go through this vagueness.
I may end up in a same place at the end.
But I will be different.

After interviews and writing a poem, I went to take some film and digital photographs that represent keywords

Many moments gather and create a journey

When I go around my neighborhood to photograph the keywords, my familiar neighborhood looks different through the camera's viewfinder; I realize more than one factor creates new insights or incidents.

Mostly an event does not happen by itself.
