Things Imagined for Malls

Queens, NY. "Grace explained to me that the bronze statue we admired in the Mall “represents the Chinese cowboy. He’s depicted as a gentle, playful child, much different than the Macho Men of the American West.” Source.

I am here to comfort you. You are not alone, you are with me. Your family and friends love you very much, they will remember you after you are gone."

Sherwin Tjia wrote a book of beautiful pseudo-haikus (lines of text taken from mostly overheard voices, shortened into epigrams, standing-in for a distilled experience, often ineffable). 

At present, he photographs haikus. 

His concerns are a mix of the mundane and the lyrical, his process forgiving of a self-admitted laziness ("effortlessness" would be the more generous way to describe this).
