A part of the Northwestern part of Queens, Jackson Heights is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York City with the inclusion of a group of distinct individuals. As I explored around the neighbourhood, I aimed to capture the interactions among people who live their day to day lives here to lead me to a richer understanding and connection to the unspoken culture of Jackson Heights and what it is like today.
