Description: Sonder is a word from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and it's the profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passed in the street, has a life as complex as one's own, which they are constantly living despite one's personal lack of awareness of it. Although this is my cousin, he is a part of my complex story, a supporting character if you will. I think this shot has some wonder to it, his expression is a little vague and can be interpreted in many ways and it lends itself to the complex nature of human life.
