佛光山

2019
佛光山寺 / FO GUANG SHAN MONESTARY
In 2019, I backpacked around Taiwan through a combination of couchsurfing and volunteering at spiritual communities and farms. One of my longest stays was at the world famous Fo Guang Shan Monestary where I volunteered at the museum, inside temples, and in the monks’ offices. My longest volunteer placement was with their media department, for whom I took photos and created videos for their Facebook pages.

民以食为天
2014
上海 / SHANGHAI
When I first arrived in China, every night a man set up his grill less than a block from where I lived to serve a Chinese street-food favorite known as chuan (串). Priced at about 15 cents a stick, this cheap dinner was how I survived after first arriving. 民以食为天 is named after a Chinese idiom that means “to the people food is heaven” and unknowingly documented the final moments of Shanghai’s bustling street food scene before a wide reaching crackdown virtually erased the city's street food culture.
