Xiao Ma (any/all pronouns) is a photographer and paper maker currently living and working in NYC as a chaplain and a Master of Divinity student. 

While at Sable they collaborated with other artists to make photos, and make paper out of banana peels. They also led a photography workshop for the group, inviting us to "make photos" in relationship with objects, places, and each other. The result was not only interesting photos, but engaging conversation and deeper connections. Before departing, Xiao asked us- "How can attention itself be a creative practice?"
