#sponsored: Xavier Goins’ “Built of Jade” has become a meditation on time, memory, and loss. He began photographing asylum-seekers who arrived at San Francisco’s Angel Island up until 1940, but many of them were no longer living. The series is rich with poignancy. “Intimacy was a very important element to the photographs in this project,” Goins says. He began each session by putting the camera down for an hour to hear their stories.
