I’ve always felt a strong connection to New York’s Chinatown, drawn in by its energy, where tradition and modernity blend seamlessly. The neighborhood’s narrow streets hum with life, from bustling markets to quiet exchanges between neighbors, all deeply rooted in a rich cultural heritage. Documenting life here has become a long-term project, revealing new layers with each visit—intimate family moments, hardworking merchants, and the resilience of a community that has thrived for generations.

Chinatown is more than just a neighborhood; it’s a reflection of the strength and diversity of the Chinese-American experience. Through my photography, I aim to capture the everyday moments and cultural connections that define this vibrant space, sharing the heart and soul of the people who bring it to life.
