Invisible People

They are people who are to most of us, invisible.  They are the homeless.

I have focused my art on capturing the incredible character that life on the streets has given these individuals, many of whom are from my neighborhood near downtown San Diego.  A character that is hard earned through sometimes many years of life on the streets and the daily struggle for survival that that may bring.

Nobility, beauty, strength, vulnerability, they are there if  we only look.  The next time that you pass someone sleeping in the street.  I hope you will realize that as a child, this is probably not the life that they had dreamed of leading. Each has a family, friends and a story of why they are where they are.  By presenting these faces on a large scale we are forced to confront them and the situation that so any like them find themselves.  Children who are without parents or role models are at most risk of being on the streets. As a human being I can’t help but feel compassion for these individuals and by presenting them in this large format perhaps it will bring them into focus.  Making them visible.

看不见的人

他们是人谁是对我们大多数人来说，看不见的。他们是无家可归的人。

我把我的艺术捕捉那街上的生活给了这些人的不可思议的人物，其中许多人是从我家附近的市中心附近的圣迭戈。一个字符是来之不易的通过有时多年来生活在街头，为了生存，可能带来的日常斗争。

高贵，美丽，力量，弱点，他们如果我们只看。你通过一个人睡在街上的下一次。我希望你会认识到，作为一个孩子，这可能不是他们的梦想引领生活。每一个家庭，朋友和一个故事，为什么他们在哪里。通过提出这些面临大规模的我们不得不面对他们，所以任何像他们一样找到自己的情况。儿童没有父母或角色模型在街道上最危险。作为一个人类，我不禁被他们这种大型也许这会使他们成为关注的焦点，觉得这些人的同情和。使他们看得见。
