A Cuban farmer continues his family tradition by tilling his small patch of earth for a subsistence living after decades of the same back-breaking work. Similarly, a 9th generation Japanese indigo dyer walks stooped across the packed dirt floor of his family’s 200-year-old workshop. A market stall holder in Hoi An barters the price of fish and works for an easier life for her family, as does a young girl in Mumbai, studying hard and dreaming big. Across the world in Seattle, individuals strive for connection in a big city.

Wherever we come from and wherever we’re going to, we all have hopes and dreams and needs.
