The Story Behind Jonathan Harris Finding Stories

Jonathan Harris describes his interests in stories. He talks about his interest developing from his own personal story and it manifesting into finding out other people’s stories. It began small, he started collecting memorabilia that he found such as pictures, scraps etc and keeping these items. His fascination later developed into a long journey to Bhutan where he asked people about their wishes. He then took pictures of their hands as well as portraits. These little notions prove that no matter how different our stories all are, we can connect with people because we all have wishes. I think this is relative to art, you don’t have to necessarily understand the artist’s point of view but understanding what drove them is powerful in its own respect.
