“HOW CAN WE IMAGINE WHAT OUR LIVES SHOULD BE WITHOUT THE ILLUMINATION OF THE LIVES OF OTHERS?” – James Salter
I have always been passionate about sharing real stories. This series is an ongoing personal project where I spend a couple hours interviewing someone, finding small, intimate moments of the Universal Human Stuff.
IREM: ARE YOU IN LOVE? 'Oh look at your smile. Are you in love? Is it a man, or a woman…?' At 25, Irem thought she had a pretty good understanding of her life, until realizing she had fallen in love with her close friend.
DONNA: MIND & BODY Donna was able to find sweetness in helping her single-mother through Alzheimer’s; but now her estranged father has reentered her life, and is battling Parkinsons.
HAWMI: CIAROSCURO "There's a part of me that craves not to be kind to myself, and a part of me that craves to be kind to myself. They're just dancing every day. Every single day, it's its own drama; it's its own action movie."
SUSAN: THE ORIGIN OF POSTHOC Susan was in a horrible accident that burned a great portion of her body. Her recovery led her down a new path.
