LIGHT OF RESCUE
2021
A documentary project that was born by walking on the streets of Salt Lake City as I discovered that this city is way more than what everyone expects. The streets are full of dark areas, where homeless and addicts live. I wanted to move the viewers into empathy towards the people we encounter everyday as we drive and walk around the city.
As I explored the city, I got the opportunity to encounter a place of healing for the struggles people have had living on the streets, the Rescue Mission of Salt Lake. As I related to the people and built-up relationships with them, I realized that the light exists in the midst of their once chaotic lives. Through my lens I tried to capture their light, and their struggles, as they live, serve, and go through their recovery program. The once homeless and addicts are people with a big heart.
I believe that as we open our eyes to see them as people, we will find out that there is greatness in them that can inspire us. They sure have inspired me and changed my life forever.
