I believe in chaos. Time will continue moving, events will happen. And whatever does happen, was the only thing that could have happened. That’s not to say that I had no choice in it, or that it was fated to happen no matter what I chose. Just that whatever I do causes chain reactions that, in turn, create the events around me. And luck is really just the way we interpret chaos into terms we can understand and deal with, or feel we have some control over.

When I began this project, I had no idea that it would make all this clear to me. It started out as a game—a symbolic method to remove myself from a country I didn't want to be in. Recently returned from a year living abroad, I was disenchanted with the U.S., to say the least. To me, my long-lost American friends seemed painfully unchanged and unaware of everything I had been through. My old life sagged on me, ten sizes too big for my new frame. I was completely disconnected from everything.

Through chaos, chance, accident, luck, or whatever you believe in, the images have been recorded and are part of my reality, and now part of yours. When you look at them, remember that, as Jean Baudrillard says: "Seen as a whole, in terms of meaning, the world is disappointing. Seen in detail and by surprise, it is always perfectly obvious."
