Eight years ago, my best friend, William Tse, passed away in January 2017.
This is the last photo I took of him. At the time, I thought there would be more moments to spend more time together. But the next day, he was gone. I am grateful, though, that I had the chance to be with him, to share that last bit of time.
For me, photography is deeply personal—it’s my way of documenting my journey. This image is more than just a photograph; it’s proof that I was there, with him and his wife, in those final moments. Helpless, speechless, and in silence, but fully present.
