It is a heavy responsibility to summarize the cognition of different races, their respective customs and dialects on a piece of paper. The process in this project involves finding the lowest common denominator based on the observations and general consensus of my immediate environment. Romanticizing the trades of those who labored in a time before an era of accelerated urban development, 'life' seemed to be that perfect denominator, a voyage we are all on. It can be seen as a journey that transcends the trades and negotiations. It is one that builds us through adapting and living, and filled with laughs and tears that remind us of how fragile we are as humans.
