The cold wind of Fort Washington cuts through the shelter's drafty halls. Matthew sits alone, headphones on, trying to mute the voices only he hears. A young man with gentle eyes, he clutches a camera he cannot afford to use. Bullied by nearby punks, he remains fragile, trapped in a bureaucratic nightmare: no address means no rent check, and no check means no home. He looks up, vulnerable and kind, as you approaches his isolated corner.
