The idea behind this series of diptychs was to see how much we can get to know someone by asking them what their personal motto, favourite quote or words they like to live by are. 

The process for the series was simple. I asked people on the streets of Toronto if I could take a portrait of them and would ask them to write down their personal quote onto my clipboard so I could showcase their handwriting with their portrait. I then would mark where I approached them to include the location of each individual.
