Cardboard Cutouts
Inspired by the semi-fictional word 'sonder', Cardboard Cutouts is a project aimed at exploring the complex thoughts, experiences, and lives of those who would otherwise be considered strangers on the street.

012 Michael - A Nature Devotee and Runner in the Rain
Michael gives us the pleasure of learning about his passion for people, nature, and mental health. As someone who has not only trekked the wilderness in a wide-array of locations, he's also trekked some paths of growth and healing within his own mind.
What is it like to constantly have your beliefs challenged willingly in black, white, and gray discussions? Michael values the idea of sharing opinions and perspectives constantly while making sure to find a middle ground of growth and understanding. To not just let temper control him, but rather to feel all the emotions that come with being a human.
