Day 9: Ty Defoe
New York, NY, United States
CIRCLE is a tribute to the journey to learning balance with the sacred hoop, always striving towards peace for all living things. The teaching of the great hoop of life was passed down from generation to generation. Crediting collaborators (editing and cinematography Katherine Freer). Special gratitude to my family and mentor, Kevin Locke.
