“Some lose their parents to the city but they are always waiting and ready to forgive and are open to loving. They wait every evening for what their parents will bring and this becomes a cycle.
“Most kids grow up thinking that the city is where everything is as most parents wake up every morning to go make a living in the city and when they return every evening they bring with a piece of the city. And the first thing a child does is to open the plastic to find what their parents got for them and that is a precious memory and a resemblance of a city.
“Smoke is not just a medium, but an extension and expression of my soul. It allows me to see beyond the physical,” he says.
