Life is confusing. It makes no sense most of the time and the worst thing about it is we must make mistakes to learn lessons. We must feel pain to appreciate happiness. We think we have no control over our lives but that isn’t the case. I truly believe the lack of natural purpose in life is the biggest freedom we humans possess. We have the power to choose own destinies and that is beautiful. I ask three of my friends a simple question – what is your purpose? 

through IKEA photo-shoots, late-night interviews, drunk thoughts and more, Emerick explores purpose in life through the perspectives of close friends — all from behind the lense of her camera.
