Two Left Shoes: A Musical Essay on Homelessness

This musical essay tells the story of my time as a college student at the University of Washington when I experienced a period of homelessness during a Seattle winter. It explores the harsh realities of living on the streets through an essay, poems, and music. Themes of isolation, despair, and resilience emerge, but glimmers of hope and human connection provide moments of light. Ultimately, it is a testament to the courage and dignity of those enduring homelessness.
