On a busy street, when given the option to go up to a stranger and ask for their life story. Surely you go up to the old woman with the knobby knees and crooked smile or maybe the dark stranger covered by a hooded sweatshirt in the light of summer, hurriedly going down the road as if in a rush. You might even ask the young woman sitting on the park bench across the street having an argument with her boyfriend about money. I bet you a million bucks nobody would ask the teenage girl immersed in her phone wearing a plain gray crop top and high waisted jeans holding a Starbucks cup filled with iced coffee- plain and black. I'll bet that people could come up with a million assumptions for this girl, and make up a personality for her on their own and that's exactly what Laura Patel wanted.
