Fortune Cookie Wisdom
Fortune Cookie Wisdom was born from a desire to put positive, relatable, accessible messages into the world amid the volatile dialogue that has come to dominate public spaces for commentary.
Each “fortune” represents a colloquial morsel of a sort of moral code designed to elicit a sense of camaraderie in an otherwise highly polarized sociopolitical environment. It is my hope that these simple quips will encourage viewers to imagine their place in a world with less hostility and more love. Fortune Cookie Wisdom at once celebrates individuality and connectedness: to embrace - to love - one’s self is to possess the fortitude to lift others up. Political beliefs aside, what can we as individuals to do support one another and ignite the power of humanity?
