In July 2024, the bronze statue of Sadako Sasaki was stolen from the Seattle Peace Park. We invite you to learn more about the history of this important site, and join this community effort to renew the park and promote world peace. I directed the campaign video, filmed and edited with my good friend, Miguel Laureano. Thank you Sadako Renewal Project Committee for having us, together, we can bring Sadako back.

"I believe peace is not stillness. It is something we walk, build, and carry together. My work is grounded in cultural humility, intergenerational care, and human connection. Sadako Reimagined does not stand apart. It shelters, remembers, and invites. It lives in a circle of memory, resilience, and shared responsibility."
